Moated Site, Moyne’s Wood, Abington Pigotts

History of Moated Site oin Moyne'sWood

Listed Building

The moated site in Moyne’s Wood is a well-preserved and largely undisturbed example of a double island moat. … The site is associated with the manor of Moynes which takes its name from the le Moyne family who held the manor from the mid-13th century until 1315 when Thomas le Moyne disposed of it to `a stranger’. The newcomer, ill disposed towards his neighbours, was eventually killed. By 1346 the manor was again in the hands of the le Moynes but passed to John Pigot, a London merchant, in about 1465.
