The Gatehouse website record for Baddesley Clinton Hall

In the civil parish of Baddesley Clinton. In the historic county of Warwickshire (Modern Authority of Warwickshire, 1974 county of Warwickshire).

Medieval moated site with external dimensions of 45m by 60m. The waterfilled moat arms are revetted in stone and measure up to 12m wide. Access to the moat is by means of an early C18 bridge constructed in red brick. The moated island is occupied by a fortified manor house which dates mostly from the mid to late C15. The Hall consists of three building ranges. The building range along the the north western side of the moated island was demolished in C18 and will survive as a buried feature. The moated site is believed to date from C13, while most of the quadrangular house is no earlier than C15 when the site was owned by the Brome family. Their successors, the Ferrers, altered the building in the early C18 and C19
