Change Of Ownership
A Memory of Polesworth.
I bought the proerty named "The Gatehouse", being the timber framed buiding to the left of the gateway, in 2007. There are various records in the church archives which relate to the building being ariginally being built for the nuns and at one time being occupied by royalist soldiers during the civil war.
The gatehouse was built in 1482 with the 3 cottages next door being added in the 1520s.
The gateway is still owned by the church and is due for restoration shortly.
I will amend this entry as I research the history more fully.
