It was originally encircled by a moat, the remains of which are clearly visible. Early in the eighteenth century considerable renovations were made to the residence, and about fifty years ago Mr. Tompson made still more extensive renovations in the house and adjacent buildings. His son Mr. Kett Tompson, completed the edifice as it now appears. The old oak fittings and furniture of the houses are remarkable, and the dining room is hung with Gobelin tapestry of royal manufacture, illustrating scenes in the Illiad. Witchington Hall is the property of Viscount Canterbury, who succeeded to it by the will of his brother in law, the late Mr. Kett Tompson.
