It had a 15th century range surrounded by additions of the 16th and 17th centuries and with a large early 19th century wing. It had an irregular plan and was much altered. {7} Scrivelsby Court was the subject of a building survey, conducted in September 1992. The survey provided a detailed historical background of the surviving building and its historical development. {8} A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was conducted on groundworks for a residential extension at Scrivelsby Court in 2013. The foundation remains of a mid-20th century former gunnery outbuilding were revealed, including reused limestone blocks from the original Scrivelsby Court building. Also revealed was post-Medieval demolition material and a cobbled surface also likely associated with the gunnery. {9}{10}
