Summary edit

Description
English: Entrance, Doddershall House. The entrance to Doddershall House faces north-west, and is reached by unclassified roads from the village of Quainton 2.5km to the east. The gate piers are listed, https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1319247.

The house itself, which is in the next grid square, was built around 1510 with a main block and a north-east wing, to which was added a south-west block in the late 17th century. A north-west wing was destroyed in 1789. There is an existing moat on the south side, but originally a quadrangular moat surrounded the house, see 929014. The house is listed, https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1117820. The picture on the link website shows the south-east side of the house.

Doddershall Manor, one of three manors in the parish of Quainton, passed to Thomas Pigott of Whaddon, Sergeant-at-law, about 1495, who then built the house, and the Pigott family have lived there ever since. Prior to the house being built the manor was Dodereshill or Dodereshull. In 1539 the name for the house was Daddersill, and in 1570 it was Dadersyl Laund.
