The manor house was known in the 15th century as Hasfield Moat House. The existing lake is a remnant of the old moat, and the stone archway which formed the entrance over the drawbridge can still be seen, incorporated in the stable buildings. Portions of the house are said to date from the reign of King John (Langston), but elsewhere the 16th century is given as the date of the oldest surviving parts (VCH). The present building is largely Georgian (Langston).
Hasfield Court is externally almost wholly of Victorian construction though a few C16th fragments are visible at the back of the house. The stone archway incorporated in the stables is Tudor. The "moat" could never have been of any greater extent than at present and it seems possible that it is an ornamental feature of the C17th or C18th.
It seems unlikely that Hasfield Moat House existed on this site and there are no other obvious sites in the immediate vicinity (F1 ANK 05-JUN-69). (PastScape)
