The moated site is medieval, it is thought, and was first referred to in documents dating from 1327 when the village was part of large land holdings owned by various Earls of Shrewsbury and later Sheriffs of the county. In 1429 the large timber-framed house on this site was owned by a Thomas Banaster and that family held the property until the 18th century, when the house was derelict and was demolished or robbed out. The site was never re-used and was wooded and neglected until 2016 when it was restored to what we see today. It is surrounded by housing today. Many moorhens here today.
