In 1329, Thomas Trego(z) was granted a licence to crenellate 'Dachesam'. This site has been suggested as Great Dixter but tenurial history suggests it is the "Mainly C18 house enclosed by a semi-circular moat which joins the River Arun to form the north side. A Medieval fishpond is present to the southeast of the house." (Symond–the quote is from PastScape)
