Noke dates back to Domesday, but the present house is believed to have been rebuilt by George Mason around 1700. It is grade II listed. The house is also renowned for its water gardens, which some think may have originally been a moat. These are filled from a weir on the nearby River Arrow. It also provided a head of water for the Court Noke Mill, which is just west of the house. The house, gardens and mill are not open to the public, but during National Mills Weekend in May 2011, the mill was open and the public were also allowed to walk around the water gardens. Image
