Moated site nr Bendyshe Farm, Bottisham

History of moated site

Scheduled Monument

The moated site is believed to be associated with Thomas de Bendish, who held an estate in the parish in 1288. A large red brick house with a chapel at one end formerly stood on the island and was demolished in the early 19th century; this is thought to have been a post-medieval building replacing an earlier manor house on the site.
