In 1629 it came into the ownership of Edward Bysshe (died 1655), father of Edward Bysshe (1615?–1679), and said to be a descendant of William Bysshe whose brother Thomas Bysshe had held the estate in the late 14th century.[2] East Bysshe Farmhouse is a grade II listed building in the parish, built in the 17th century and extended and altered in the 19th century.[3]
