Castle Farm, St.George's is an impressive late-medieval first-floor hall. It consists of a main block of the 15th century with a small annex of the 18th century to the E. The name, tradition, and the consistent claims of antiquarians from Leland to G.T.Clark, suggest
that it was raised within a castle which formerly occupied the site. Such a castle appears to be confirmed by the particularly thick N. and W. walls of Castle Farm, and the eroded earthworks and footings in the field to the W. of the house.
