Stambourne Hall
Stambourne Hall is a grade II listed house in Stambourne, Essex.[1]
According to the owner, Roderick Shelton, a conservation architect, the house was built in 1348. Shelton found that date on the central hearth.[2] Historic England say circa 15th century.[1] Shelton acquired the house from his mother and stepfather in 1997. They had bought it in 1970. The house is of five bedrooms in an L shape that were originally two separate houses, both of manorial status but of different types and dates.[1] The houses were later joined and the whole has been substantially altered over the centuries.[3] The site is moated[1] and extends over seven acres.[2]
Member of Parliament Henry Macwilliam (c. 1532-86) lived in the house.[4]
In the nineteenth century the house was occupied by the Fry family of chocolate makers.[2]
As of July 2015, the house was for sale with an asking price of £1.65 million.[5][6][7]
