At the time of the Norman Conquest this was the larger of two manors in ‘Haustitona.’ The manors became the property of Picot, Sheriff of Cambridge. Lordship Farm was seven hides and three yardlands, large enough for 4 plough teams. The land had previously been held by 20 sokemen, tenants who owed service to a lord. At this time three mills were built, one on the site of the Mill that still exists at Lordship Farm.
There are still remnants of the original moat. Many original features survive.
