HER 133 - Pachenesham Magna, Leatherhead
Scheduled Monument
The site of a 12th-14th Century Moated Manor House, known as 'The Mounts'. Several phases of construction of the hall and other buildings are clearly represented, from the 12th century to dereliction c. 1350 or a little earlier. Excavation in 1949 explored the area within the moat: foundations of the Hall, part of the Chapel, a well and other structural remains of buildings, erected in 1290-91 by Sir Eustace de la Hache, were recovered and planned. Much stratified pottery and a number of small objects were found, but no coins. The well, lined with flint masonry in its upper part, was only partly cleared. Foundations of square masonry pillars adjoining the well must have served in raising the water, and show that it was fitted with a counter-balanced beam apparatus.
