Moat Farm, Eaton Bray

Clearly a very old building with some more recent additions. The entrance is from the High Street and the farm buildings are now completely surrounded by more recent housing.

The name of the farm may be a reference to the moat that surrounded the castle in Eitone (as the village used to be known) - though that moat still exists on Park Farm, which is built on the site of the castle, to the Northwest of the village. It is possible that this was once a moated manor, but I have been unable to find any reference to it as such.
