House & Family History: Moyns is believed to have been named after the Le Moignes family, owners of the Estate in the 13th century. The northwest entrance facade was created for Sir Thomas Gent, circa 1580, one of Queen Elizabeth's barons of the Exchequer. James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, was a frequent visitor to the House and is believed to have made the final changes to his novel "From Russia, with Love" during a stay at Moyns. The House and Estate were sold in 2002 for £4.5 million.

Garden & Outbuildings: The grounds contain aviaries and walled gardens. A section of the moat is extant to the northeast of the House.
