HISTORICAL NOTE: the name 'Castle Moat House' and the location
close to the double moat; on the opposite (north) side of
Castle Street mark out an early origin for the building, which
is possibly 1 of 3 houses 'without the walls' referred to in a
survey dated 1609-10; together with other properties in Castle
Street, this house lay outside the Borough in Brickendon
Liberty until mid C17.
