Tithe Map of 1846 shows a series of 5 fish ponds in a line at the North end of the site, the ponds diminishing in size from East to West. Map also shows the long pond, named `Garden Canal' on the South side of the site. The shorter pond parallel to the long one is not shown, no house is shown either. Ownership continued in the same family from the C16 to C19, (S1-S6).
