Barking Hall

Next to the parish church, the early-eighteenth century Barking Hall replaced an earlier manor house on the site but was itself demolished in the twentieth century, when its stables were converted and expanded to create a care home. There was once a small medieval deer park nearby that appears to have later expanded with the addition of surviving nearby ancient woodlands, although now disparked. The Barking Hall estate is documented to have had a complex of avenues centred on the mansion that were likely to date to the late-seventeenth century. The site now includes a surviving uncultivated walled garden, probably contemporary with the eighteenth century mansion, although no gardens from the Hall survive.
