A 14th inventory describes a building probably on the site of the present Navestock Hall, which is now a farm and dates from the 16th. , a German landmine in 1940 revealed older structures than that on a rainwater head inscribed 'E. W. 1757'
Navestock Hall site. The site of a later manor house, is north-east of the farm. This was built in the 18th by Lord Waldegrave .it had a stable-yard, kitchen gardens and formal gardens. The house was a brick building. In 1811 the house was demolished and later a summer-house was built there and this was replaced by a memorial which is said to be still there.

Ongar road.
