Groton Place
With sixteenth or seventeenth century origins, Groton Place was created the manor house for Groton by John Winstrop before he emigrated to Massachusetts during the puritan migration in 1630. It was remodelled in the Georgian style during the eighteenth century and later became a farmhouse. The site included farm buildings, now converted to residential properties, a surviving trapezoid-shaped walled garden attached to the north wing of the house that in 1838 may have been become an ornamental garden, with an attached kitchen garden and path leading to a large pond, both surviving today. An orchard and small area of parkland to the east have been lost to arable cultivation.
