House considerably altered in 1974.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
Recent renovations to the house of Wormistone [Wormiston House] revealed details of the early structure, of 17th century date, (including painted wall plaster not seen by the reporter).
A small cobbled area may have been the remains of a yard on the W of the house. S of this were foundations of the N wall of a substantial structure, 14m long, of squared sandstone. 1.5m from the NW corner of the structure was a 1.5m wide doorway. In front of the door was a paving stone above a stone 'chamber' of unknown purpose (possibly a drain) approximately 1m by 0.75m by 0.5m deep.
No excavation was possible.
