Monument Types and Dates MOAT (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1540 AD) Evidence EARTHWORK MOATED SITE (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1540 AD) Evidence EARTHWORK Description and Sources Description During the last 50 years (writing in 1861) the offices and stables of the old moated hall of Bellaport (which has been destroyed) have been used as farm buildings. <1a> Early in this (C19) century the old house was taken down. It was surrounded by a moat, and stood in an extensive park. (Sketch based on an old drawing accompanies this note) <2> Evaluated for MPP in 1990-1, Low score as one of 133 Moated sites. <4> Home of the Grosvenor family, and from 1634 the Cottons. .Probably in the late 17th century the Hall was remodelled; by then it occupied the whole width of the site. <5> In 1927-8 the surviving part of the Old Hall was occupied as a farmhouse.[<5 citing [<3>]> See PRN 07564 for the evidence for both a formal garden and a park.<5> Part of a wide moat possibly survives to the west of the modern farm. Whilst this may be a post medieval ornemental feature, based on a possible 16th century sketch of the house, it could well have been adapted from an earlier medieval moat.<6> Sources (00) Card index: Site and Monuments Record (SMR) cards (SMR record cards) by Shropshire County Council SMR, SMR Card for PRN SA 01595.
