The raised area on the left is the site of the old manor house, where Robert Boyle (of "the product of the volume and pressure of a fixed quantity of an ideal gas is constant, given constant temperature" fame) lived between ~1645 and ~1654 (sources vary: Wikipedia goes for '45-'54, while Pitt-Rivers (1966) says '44 to '55). Despite the various local ghost stories involving a tragic fire destroying the building (the same legends must exist in every village in the country, with only the names changed), the poorly maintained house was demolished in 1827. The farmhouse on the right, amongst other local buildings, was built with the stone from the house.
