Thompson lists this as a possible site of a residential manor of the Bishops of Bath and Wells. He does not cite a reference.

Gatehouse Comments

The VCH gives a thorough manorial history and does not mention the Bishop. The manor of Wick Rissington was, in part, a possession of Eynsham Abbey but never of the see of Bath and Wells. Little Rissington was held by Bishop Burnell but as a private holding. Does not seem to be Wick Court or Painswick. Payne, in her PhD thesis, also dismisses this as the site of a residential manor.
