Gidea Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gidea Hall was located in historical county of Essex (in the parish of Havering). The Sir Thomas Cooke in 1466 was granted a Licence to crenellate, which is a licence for the manor house to be fortified. The manor work started in 1466 with the construction of a moat and other alterations which weren't finished until 1568.

The Gidea Hall no longer stands, for nothing remains in place there, because it was demolished in 1720. Since then a mansion was built, and a medicinal spring existed in 1783.
