Sometimes spelt as Whiligh, the 'old' was added at the turn of the 20th century when a new house called Whyly was built. The current building dates from the Georgian period, however, its foundations can be dated back to 1100 and for many years it was home to the Lunsford family who turned the surrounding countryside into a deer park. By the 18th century it was a farm frequently visited by Thomas Turner, an 18th century shopkeeper whose diaries survive today. Today the house is used as a luxury bed and breakfast.
