Gatehouse Comments

Given map reference is for parish church of Chebsey but there is no suggestion for the actual location of this house. The house, if built, needed not have been moated but it would be highly unusual for it not to have been in this location. The Sow valley has been much altered by drainage, mill leats and agriculture.
