Bushwood Hall
When full the moat would be very deep around the island bearing a Queen Anne house but the moat seriously predates the house.The Moat House
A three quarter moat round an extended / modernised home. This should not be confused with the 1480 Old Moathouse half a mile to the south which has a shallow, narrow albeit totally encircling moat.
