Morden Hall, Guilden Morden

History of Morden Hall

Morden Hall OS 1885

Listed building:

Farmhouse, formerly a manor house. Medieval origins with late C15 or early C16 alterations and additions, late C17 or early C18 addition and C19 and C20 alterations. The building is noted for its late C15 or early C16 roof.

The original manor house was destroyed during the peasant uprising of 1381, it is probable that the hall was rebuilt shortly after and extended in the C15 by the Haseldens. Thomas Hayes refurbished the house in c.1620, it was used as a farmhouse from the C18.
