"In a wall on the road-side by the Manor House is a public drinking-fountain set in a recess partly made up of architectural fragments, including pieces of 15th century windows and a number of early-17th-century carved stones, one of these being a broken shield of (Ralph) Sheldon impaling (Anne) Throckmorton."
