Building shown inside enclosure, apparently a moat. (1)
The old manor house at Lambley (associates with Cromwell family) has passed almost beyond recognition. A portion of the old foundation walls is incorporated in the rectory, which now stands upon the site. Indications of the moat may still be seen in the rectory grounds. (2)
A depression immediately S of the Rectory and extending eastwards into the adjacent field, could be the moat. (3)
An "L" shaped depression in the N angle of the garden may be the reported "traces of a moat", but in its present condition the feature is non-classifiable. S of the Rectory 2 new houses are being built. (4)
The Victorian rectory was demolished in 1974 and the moat filled in to make way for a housing development. In 1585 the "Rectorye … with the Mote" was leased for 9 years by the Rev John Lunde (ie not the same as Cromwell's manor house). (5)
Large building shown (but no moat). (6)
