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 which was built around 1525 by William Roper, son in law of Sir Thomas More. Well Hall Pleasaunce has undergone an extensive makeover, and consists of a series of formal gardens, ponds and woodland, as well as the remains seen here which includes this medieval bridge.
