House name Description
Woodford Woodford was the residence of Robert J. Gore at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £15. In 1814 it was occupied by John Gore. Both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson also record it as a seat of the Gore family in the 1780s. The house at Woodford Demesne, described as "formerly the residence of the Rev. Gore" was "formerly a genteel residence but now in a ruinous state" at the time of the first Ordnance Survey in 1835. Lewis records it as the seat of Ormsby Gore in 1837. In 1906 it was the property of Emily Upperton and was valued at £19. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that it retains little original fabric but much of the estate architecture, including the site of the walled garden survives. There is also an earlier castle at this site. Photo of Woodford
