[3] Writing in 1811, Samuel Lewis stated that the village had 60 inhabitants and that the church at Clifton Maybank had "been in ruins for a century".

The transfer shed used for transhipping goods and approximately ¼ mile of track along the Clifton Maybank spur are now part of the Yeovil Railway Centre, where steam trains named the Clifton Maybank Rambler are being run in 2019.

Remaining are several structures, some of which were formerly interconnected, and part of which (called by Rogers, a screen) was removed to nearby Montacute House.

Soon after this his oldest son, Sir John Horsey, made Clifton Maybank his principal residence and began a major and expensive rebuilding[7][10] process on the house, using the local Ham stone.

"[7] The Horsey family fortunes entered a period of slow decline, and in 1786 much of the house was dismantled and sold – one main front of the building being transferred to Montacute House and the early 17th century lodge was removed in 1800 to Hinton St George.

The west front may have been redesigned after the 1786 demolitions, but the central gable has a reset oriel window with Tudor roses and horses' heads (for Horsey).
