Summary
Toft Monks Hall is a large house built in the early 17th century with an unusual and palatial plan and a full-sized basement. It sits within a moated site, probably indicating the presence of an earlier house on the site. Also within the moat is a good example of a late timber-framed barn built between 1760 and 1840, reusing older timbers. This is one of three possible sites of the Benedictine priory (NHER 10721),and two possible sites for the medieval manor (NHER 10722).
