Parsonage Hall dates back to the
13th century where
records indicate Monks owned land in Bures Hamlet including
the Hall, which enabled them to administer their lands.
Interestingly in 1930, Thomas Eustace-Smith,
the then owner of the Wormingford
Workhouse, removed the roof tiles and used them to renovate
Parsonage Hall, , the home of his daughter and son-in-law Doctor
and Mrs Wood.
