Moat House Farm, Kingston

History of Moated House site

Scheduled Monument

The moated site is thought to represent the site of the manor of Kingston St George which is first recorded in 1212 when Maud de Dive held a fee in the parishes of Kingston, Hatley and Trumpington. In 1235 William St George held one fee in Hatley and Kingston of the fee of Maud de Dive and the manor remained in the St George family until 1556 when Francis St George conveyed it to a Robert Catlyn. In 1569 the manor was united with the manor of Kingston Wood. More recently the moated site has also been known as Library Farm and Queen’s College Farm, after Queen’s College, Cambridge, who owned it from the early 18th century. (Historic England)
