The Gatehouse website record for Woodmanton Moat

In the civil parish of Clifton Upon Teme. In the historic county of Worcestershire (Modern Authority of Worcestershire, 1974 county of Hereford and Worcester).

C14 and C15 moated Woodmanton Manor House, now forms the kitchen-block of C19 brick Woodmanton Farmhouse. An application for a licence to crenellate was made in 1332 by John de Wisham. Four turrets were built at each corner of the square house. It was altered in C16. In 1827, much of the former building was rebuilt in brick as an L-shaped farmhouse. Only the Northern turret and adjoining parts remain, and they have been converted to the kitchen range. There have been suggestions formerly that a chapel existed at Woodmanton manor house, but this is probably a confusion with the former chapel at the parish church. Woodmanton is a DMV.
