Lower Hall. The area around is a mixture of farm buildings and pasture, and was perambulated although nothing resembling a moat was seen. Mrs Jones, the present owner, although only recently moved to the Farm is local and can remember a pond near the house about 25-30 years ago which was claimed as a moat; this has since been filled in. Mr and Mrs Derbyshire of Tanyard Farm, Lower Stretton, confirmed that there used to be a moat around Lower Hall but that it was filled in 20-30 years ago. [HMJ 01/06/1988].
