Summary
The village of Pattesley is mentioned in the Domesday Book and other medieval documents. Medieval pottery sherds have been collected from the site of the village, but all that survives above ground is a sunken holloway. The medieval church of St John the Baptist was abandoned by 1602 at the latest and fragments of it are incorporated into Pattesley House. This house dates to the 17th or 18th centuries with 19th century additions. It is constructed of brick and flint and includes a staircase that dates to around 1600 (which was inserted into the house in the 18th or 19th centuries). One associated outbuilding may date to the 18th century, whilst the barn and a cart shed date to the late 19th century.

The medieval church of St John the Baptist was abandoned by 1602 at the latest and fragments of it are incorporated into Pattesley House. This house dates to the 17th or 18th centuries with 19th century additions. It is constructed of brick and flint and includes a staircase that dates to around 1600 (which was inserted into the house in the 18th or 19th centuries).

Compare with (S6) which states: Former church converted into house in early 17th century. By about 1600 the church was 'whollye ruinated and decayed' and now forms the main domestic block.
