Wallingwells is a large mansion now divided into flats. It comprises a main block of the late C18 to which an E front in pseudo-C17 style was added in the early C19. (? Nunnery walls) are probably incorporated in the late C18 fabric. (4)
Sir Richard Pipe, a Lord Mayor of London, bought the property in 1578. His, or a slightly later, house is shown on a plan of 1682. H-plan with a little internal courtyard.

Country house, now divided into 7 dwellings. Early C17. (6)
