Rodmarton Place

In the civil parish of Rodmarton.
In the historic county of Gloucestershire (Modern Authority of Gloucestershire, 1974 county of Gloucestershire).

The medieval manor-house, called Rodmarton Place in C18, was built south-east of the church in the early C15, and with later additions of C16 and C17 occupied three sides of a quadrangle. An external staircase provided access to the great hall on the first floor; the cellar underneath was apparently used as a prison. The house, which also included a chapel, was the residence of Thomas Wye in 1544. In C18 it fell partly into ruin and was used for storing grain and in 1796 the lessee was ordered to demolish a large part of it. The building was still standing in 1872 when it was partly used for cottages but they were rebuilt in the early C20.
