History
Three separate designations attach to the site and they are different kinds of thing: the building is Grade I, NHLE 1286903; the grounds are a registered park and garden, Grade II*, NHLE 1000133, covering 15.24 hectares; and the moated site is a scheduled monument, NHLE 1001964, which carries no grade. The moat bridge and its attached gate piers at the entrance are listed separately, Grade II, NHLE 1358584, and a lodge to the north east of the entrance drive, with the moat bridge, is listed Grade II, NHLE 1253047. OpenStreetMap records a veteran oak in the grounds, the Fulham Palace Oak, tagged with a start date of about 1500.
