Description: Eastington Manor farmhouse The long low C18 farmhouse appears to have been tacked on to a much earlier structure, left, probably a mediaeval fortified manor/castle, but there are signs of an additional gabled building to the west which has given rise to speculation about Eastington's original design and function. It was in the possession of the Perrotts in the C15. Latterly the place became a gentry house and farm belonging to the Meares family. Earlier names for it were Jestynton, Jesting town and Iseston.
