THE LOST HAMLET OF TYTTON, IN WYBERTON, IS REPRESENTED BY TYTTON HALL. THE NAME IS NOW APPLIED TO A MODERN FARMHOUSE, NEAR WHICH IS THE MOATED SITE OF THE EARLIER MANSION. MARGARET TYTTON OF WYBERTON MARRIED JOHN COPPLEDYKE, WHO WAS SHERIFF OF THE COUNTY, IN 1488. THE TYTTON NAME DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE REGISTER BOOK OF 1538 AND THE FAMILY HAD PROBABLY BECOME EXTINCT BY THAT TIME. APs SHOW SLIGHT DISTURBANCE AND SOME FAINT MARKS EAST OF PRESENT BUILDING, BUT TRACES ARE NOT TYPICAL OF A DESERTED HAMLET. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7} THREE SIDES OF THE MOAT CAN BE TRACED, BUT THE INDICATIONS ARE VERY VESTIGIAL. PUBLISHED SURVEY (25') REVISED.{1} MOAT MARKED (THREE SIDES OF SQUARE) TO WEST OF TYTTON HALL.{9}
Pevsner has suggested that the present Tytton Hall, dating to 1898, incorporates earlier features {10}, possibly as early as the 15th century.{11}
During a watching brief at The Granary, Tytton Court, several pits were recorded. A pit containing 16th-17th century pottery and charcoal fragments was thought to be a pit for burnt rubbish or possibly a fire pit which was backfilled after a short time. A pit containing organic matter, low fired clay fragments, animal bone, shell and 14th-17th century pottery, as well as a fragment of a copper alloy pin, was thought to be a rubbish or cess pit. A further pit containing brick fragments was of unknown function. The pottery assemblage from the watching brief suggests that medieval domestic activity took place in close proximity to the medieval manor. The post-medieval deposits, with a tight date range of 16th-17th century, combined with the presence of building materials, are very suggestive of continuity of occupation on the manor site, possibly with the manor buildings themselves being rebuilt or remodelled. Occupation of the part of the manor site where The Granary now stands appears to have ended in the 17th century.
