Several glass bottles have since been found by the present owner including one with1762 W marked on side.

Polsue quotes a C17 description by Hals; 'For in the old dilapidated house of this once famous fabric, I saw the ruins of a moorstone oven, about 14 foot diameter, in testimony of the hospitality once kept there. And moreover, in front of the castlewise moorstone gate, or portal,'I beheld his arms cut in stone'. No evidence of these items visible. Later property of Trevilles. c1761 barton property of Samuel Pett.
