Full Description
{1} Manor House Site (SP 759768), lies north of the Old Rectory at the west end of Draughton village, on Northampton Sand at 127m. above OD. The remains consist of a wide ditch only barely visible, on three
sides of a sub-rectangular area, and were perhaps part of a formal garden. This narrow garden lies at the N. end of an open area which is bounded on the east and south by a low bank. Beyond the east bank is a broad, shallow hollow-way, probably the predecessor of the present road to Maidwell. In 1837 the name given to this field was Nineveh.
