Well Hall Pleasaunce dates back to the 13th century. It contained a Manor House at the time of Henry VIII and more recently was the home of the author of The Railway Children Edith Nesbit. The Manor House has gone, although the moat survives as does The Tudor Barn seen here which was built around 1525 by William Roper, son in law of Sir Thomas More. It is now a restaurant while the rest of Well Hall Pleasaunce has also recently undergone an extensive makeover. The Pleasaunce consists of a series of formal gardens, ponds and woodland, as well as the moat and Tudor Barn..
