Well Hall Pleasaunce, Eltham, SE9
A small hamlet on the road (track?) from Eltham to Woolwich was all that existed here during medieval times. "Kidbrooke layne" bisected the hamlet and at its southern corner stood Well Hall House plus its out-buildings. These outbuildings included this carefully preserved Tudor Barn. The manor house has long been demolished, although the moat also survives, as can be seen here too. This barn - now a restaurant, with a first floor function suite - was built c.1525 by William Roper, the son in law of Sir Thomas More. A brook enters the moat at the foot of this picture, at the side of the reeds. Several entrances into this public park lie behind the photographer.
