Milden Hall

Once the site of a manor house, Milden Hall had become a farmhouse by the eighteenth century. It stands in an isolated position in the rural parish of Milden and just west of the site of Milden Castle, thought to have been a minor twelfth century motte and bailey, but now just a mound. The Hall was either rebuilt or altered in the mid-eighteenth century creating what has been described as a farmhouse that looked more like a small Georgian mansion. The site also includes two historic barns that probably date to the sixteenth century. Showing a great deal of continuity of field boundaries over the last two centuries, it is still farmed and now owned by the same family who are documented as tenants in the mid-nineteenth century. The estate is now environmentally farmed and has diversified into wildlife courses, holiday accommodation, special events and guided group visits.

Wells Hall

Originally the site of the moated manor house for Milden, Wells Hall had become a farmhouse by the eighteenth century with a smaller house replacing the earlier and grander Hall. The site straddles the parish boundary of Brent Eleigh and Milden. Most of the surviving moat and the Hall are in Milden with a sixteenth century brick boundary wall and gateway in Brent Eleigh. The site also includes a dry fishpond and large barn that probably dates back to the earlier Hall, both in Milden parish. Wells Hall is now a private residence.
