Acton Parish

Acton Hall

A surviving moat, once the site of the manor house for Acton, becoming a farmhouse in the mid-fifteenth century. The house was replaced in the late-nineteenth century, new farm buildings added and an avenue lined the approach to the site – probably of an earlier date – that was replanted during the twentieth century. Now the site of a farmhouse.

Balston Hall

A surviving moated complex, believed to have been used as an intensively managed food production centre suggestive of a fish farm, possibly originally for the monastery at Bury St Edmunds and by the early-seventeenth century for Melford Hall. Now the site of a farmhouse.
