Monument record LMG 008 - Broom Hall (Med)

Water filled remains of rectilinear moat, circa 200+m x 170m.
Note: research by Uhi Millington (Writtle College and the Univ of Essex - see dissertation) suggest this was the house of James Parker. Following this William Kent was involved in the development of the pleasure grounds associated with it. A map (early C18th?) shows the house within the moat in some detail (SRO, HA:93 SA/12/53 (G20 1072)).
Shown not clearly, but with similar layout, on Hodskinson's 1783 map with various features, and shown in form similar to today's on OS 1st edition (1837)(S1)(S2).
