History of the Emplins

Listed Building

House, formerly rectory house. Mid-late C15. Open hall with north and south crosswings. … The house is the former rectory and was leased by Merton College. In 1483 it was leased to Thomas Byrd who probably built the present house. A map of 1602 in the possession of Merton College shows extensive ranges of farm and other-buildings round a courtyard of which the existing house remains. (Historic England)
