The building is the surviving portion of the Manor House of the Manor of Wyllyotts, which covered 2000 acres and dates back to the 13th century. It had been known, until the present owners took over, as The Wyllyotts Manor, although there is no historical evidence of a family of that name having lived there. The first reference to the Manor of Wyllyotts is in 1268, when Sir Roger Leukenor was Lord of the Manor, and although the family held the property until 1562, they did not live there. The first known occupants were the Pouns family in 1387 - see http://www.the-old-manor.co.uk/index.htm.
