History of Tyrell's Hall

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.
