History of Tyrell's Hall

Listed Building

Manor house. Mainly C18 but external appearance is now early C19 following an extensive remodelling by Thomas Nash of Cockett and Nash, architects of Royston, Herts. in 1825. North east end is probably C16.

Barn. Late C17 or early C18.

Bridge. Early C19. Gault brick. Parapetted single span with segmental arch.

Granary. C18.

Lodge. Early C19.

Gothick summer house. Early C19. Timber framed, and flint rubble.

Garden shelter. Early C19. … Probably built by the Woodham family following enclosure in 1823. It is shown on the Tithe Map, 1844.

Tyrell’s manor was acquired by William Woodham in 1759. The Nash-Woodham family also owned Docwra’s Manor, Shepreth

The monument includes a medieval moated site located 170m south west of Tyrell’s Hall and 130m north east of Shepreth parish church. In 1764 the moated enclosure was amongst the lands held by William Woodham, the owner of the manors of Docwras and Tyrells. In the 11th century the manor of Tyrell’s was held by two separate estates and the moat may represent the site of one of these.

The monument includes a medieval moated site known as Hall Yards, situated 150m north west of Tyrell’s Hall.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
