Writing in 1931, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, made the following note about Stockton:
The landlord of the inn [Carriers Arms] in 1931 assured me he had seen an old map showing a round malthouse on the site of the modern Long Hall.
The Hall is reputed to occupy the site of a monastery. Was there ever a monastery here, and if so, was the roundhouse its refectory?
