It has recently been embellished with an elegant portico of the Corinthian order, and was formerly the seat of the Playters, who held the manor as early as the reign of Edward II., and one of whom was created a baronet in 1623, but the title is now extinct. The Church (St. Margaret) stands in the park, near the hall, embowered in trees. It has a lofty embattled tower, and contains several ancient monuments of the Playter family. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in K.B. at £10,and now having a good residence, about 34 acres of glebe, and a yearly modus of £290. 18s. 11d., awarded in 1840 in lieu of tithes.
