As quoted from W. Beamont's translation of a mid-15th c. MS register of Sir Piers Legh III's estates:

'The aforesaid Peter Legh holds the manor of Bradley in the vill of Burtonwood within the parish of Werrington to himself his heirs and assigns for ever, that is to say, a new hall with three new chambers and a fair dining room, with a new kitchen, bakehouse, and brewhouse, and also with a new tower built of stone with turrets, and a fair gateway, and above it a stone 'bastille' well defended, with a fair chapel, all of the said Peter's making, also one ancient chamber called the Knyghtes chamber, all which premises aforesaid, with other different houses, are surrounded by a moat with a drawbridge, and outside the said moat are three great barns, namely, on the north part of the said manor house with a great shippon and stable, with a small house for the bailiff, and a new oven built at the eastern end of the place called the 'Parogardyne,' with all the members and demesne lands to the said manor house belonging or appertaining, with one large orchard, enclosed with hedges and ditches on the south part of the said place called the 'Parogardyne,' with an enclosed garden beyond the old oven.'
