Historic England
W M Palmer wrote in 1913:
Perhaps the oldest house in Linton. Massively built but small. Smallness points to age. there was no furniture to full large rooms in the sixteenth century….. In 1500 this was the freehold of Thomas Malyn, and was with two acres of land in the open fields called Harp acre and Dunghill acre, held by the service of the twentieth part of a Knights fee. This family continued to hold it for many years. It was called the Bell as early as 1670, when John Burgoyn lived here.
