Moyles Court

A vision of Britain through time: ‘It was the seat of the Lisles, one of whom, Col. Lisle, was one of the judges on the trial of Charles I.; and it gave shelter to certain fugitives from the field of Sedgemoor, at the hand of the Colonel's widow, Lady Lisle, who, for that act, though herself of undoubted loyalty, was condemned to death at Winchester by Judge Jeffreys. Her story is graphically told in Lord Macauley's "History of England" and is the subject of a fresco in the new palace of Westminster, where she is represented concealing the fugitives. A monument of her is in Ellingham churchyard.’
