The manor beyond was built in its original form in the late 16th century for an ironmaster. The lake was created, apparently from scratch, by a later owner in Victorian times along with the gardens. The Lower Lake, out of sight to the right, was restored from an old hammer pond. Another hammer pond, now drained, was off to the left.
