Location
Full description
House with two storey round tower at corner.
(S1) in file states it is 400 years old and a former tollhouse, but former is improbable and latter cannot be correct as the only main road ever in this area is some way to the south.
(S2), which extends here into what used to be Suffolk, does not show a windmill or similar feature.
However (S3) clearly marks the round tower although it is hardly visible on (S4) though this does show a building called Warren House to the south.
Could this have been a warren lodge?
