Brockhampton Estate

Excerpt: The moat,gatehouse and manor, thought to date from c1380-1400

The Brockhampton Estate is a farmed estate in Herefordshire, England, which is owned by the National Trust. It is located near the village of Brockhampton near the town of Bromyard.

The main attraction of the Brockhampton Estate is Lower Brockhampton, a timber framed manor house that dates back to the late 14th century. The manor house is surrounded by a moat and is entered by a newly restored gatehouse at the front of the house.The house is surrounded by 1,000 acres (400 ha) of farmland and 700 acres (280 ha) of woodland.
The Brockhampton Estate was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1946 by Colonel John Lutley.
In 2010, the National Trust undertook a major restoration project to the house using traditional wattle and daub building methods.

It's enjoyable to see that old estates like Brockhampton can be restored traditionally
