(SO 78200578) The moated manor-house of Eastington, first
mentioned in 1322, stood close to the west end of the church, and
part of the moat was still to be seen in the early 18th century. The
house was demolished in the same century, though a terrace wall
survives on the west side of the churchyard, and the present
Churchend Cottages may be part of the buildings. (1)

Ths history of Eastington Church mentions a mansion to the west of
the church tower which was built in 1578 and demolished in 1778.
Brook Cottage SO 78190577 is almost certainly part of this mansion.
The terrace wall may be 16th century but it was not part of the
house; and there are no obvious traces of the moat. (2-4)
