Penhallam
Penhallam, situated close to Week St Mary is the remains of an 800 year old moated manor house and included a Hall, bakehouse and chapel. It was abandoned in mediaeval times so the rooms were never adapted into later styles and the floor plan is a preserved snapshot of mediaeval design. It was only rediscovered in 1967 when the area was being prepared for forestry planting. Excavations took place between 1968-1973.
