Robert Drury was granted, in 1510, licence to crenellate his manors of Hansted Hall Buknahams and Onhowshalle, Suff.

Three fragments of a moat around the site of Onehouse Hall (VCH). Homestead Moat, in good condition, comprising two waterfilled arms and one dry arm. The remaining N. arm has been destroyed by farm buildings. (PastScape)

Gatehouse Comments

The Hall was pulled down before 1847 (Copinger), probably in the mid C17 when the Callum's (the Drury heirs) constructed Hardwick House. They seem to have destroyed the other two properties at this time.
