[2] Although mentioned in the Domesday Book, Testerton appears to have decayed during the Medieval period, and by the beginning of the 17th century the parish had only 18 communicants.

[citation needed] By the end of that century the parish church of Saint Remigius was already very ruined, and at some point after this time the walls were completely removed.

The only surviving remnant of the medieval village is the church, which retains the western part of the west tower, and is believed to have had a rectangular nave and apsidal chancel.

The present Grade II Listed house is only the rear service wing of what was once a much larger building, dating to 1802.

With two storeys in seven bays, the building is constructed from red brick and has a south facade in the Georgian architecture style.
