Freeford House

Freeford House is thought to be the site of a leper hospital dating back to 13th century. In 1917 some 80 human skeletons were discovered near to the site during excavations for a road widening.Some existing masonry on the site is thought to be part of the hospital chapel's foundations and part of the present house bears the name "Chapel Yard".
