HISTORY

The Moot House is an important residence which is believed to date from the early 1600’s with later additions in around 1753. The house was known as Moss House until 1900 and appears as such on early maps.
In 1841, the house became a school until 1861.
The name “Moot” translates “to meet”, and the property was used by St Mary’s the Virgin for church meetings in around 1900.
There are priest holes in the two cellars with the remains of an underground tunnel which lead across the Croft to where there used to be a chapel. There is another priest hole in the roof, accessed via a ‘secret door’ on the second floor.
In August 1951, Moot House was awarded Grade II listed building status.
