Moat House moated site, Weston Colville

History of Moat House

Scheduled Monument

The moat is thought to represent the original site of Colville Manor, named after William de Colville, who became the holder when he married Beatrice de Stutville in 1200; the manor had first been subinfeudated to the Stutvilles in about 1150. The manor remained in the Colville family until 1369. By 1560 the moated site was no longer the site of Colville Manor, which by 1612 had been replaced by a house to the south west on the site of the present Weston Colville Hall. The present Moat House, which now occupies the moated site, dates from the 19th century.
