The main building at Moyles Court - the current site - was the former manor house of Rockford, and later Ellingham.

The 17th century manor house was once the home of Dame Alice Lisle, the last woman to be publicly beheaded in England following a judicial trial.

In all, ten lots were sold, including the one containing the current school on 14 acres (5.7 ha) of land.
