The first reference to Mallards Court Manor appears in archives from the thirteenth century when the land was part of a large estate owned by the Fitz Alan family. The current house is much more recent. Its style is early Victorian. In the 1850s the then incumbent, Reverend Henry Tufnell Young - a local landowner - opened a school for girls and infants in the Mallard's Court schoolroom. The Young family were still living at Mallard's Court during the First World War, when George Young, the 33-year-old son of the family, died on the western front. Since then a succession of owners have made a number of changes to the interior of the house and grounds.  Author: David Cripps,
