Seventy Roman coins were found recently as evidence of the boundary line which Marr formed at Rickneild Street.

The Gothic-style church of St Helen's has original herringbone masonry, early Norman chancel and nave, 13th/14th century short spire tower, 15th stone-ribbed porch and font and the pulpit has fine medieval woodwork.

Parts of the farm buildings are original 1800s and fairly unusual, the Hall itself retaining an Elizabethan/ Jacobean west side with a semi-circular entrance porch.

The arches stand on solid stone piers and is thought to have been designed by Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson an Italian architect who died in 1885.

The story of how Charles Thellusson (The Landed Gentry, Burke pages 598–600) gained control over the Brodsworth Estate (including the farm) is a saga in itself.
