A few ruins survived until the beginning of the 20th century, but nothing now remains above ground; the foundations were uncovered in a 2017–18 excavation. The barn where Henry and Jane supposedly held a feast to celebrate their marriage burnt down in the 1920s. Present manor house The present manor house dates back to the early 17th century, having started life as a simple farmhouse. It was expanded in the 18th century and has a Victorian façade. The current owners of the manor house are the Binney family, who inherited the property on the death of their mother in 2013. Seven people live in the main house, which has been partitioned for tenants. In February 2015, Dominic Binney said, "Over the years we have had many people feeling a presence here that makes their hair stand on end – something that is definitely not explained by an old house's sounds and creaky floorboards. I've absolutely felt and heard unexplained things. We had mediums and psychics come here to chase the ghosts away." A neighbouring farmhouse named Wolfhall Farm stands on a minor road leading away, east-north-east, from Burbage towards Crofton, where it crosses the Kennet and Avon Canal and the railway. The farmhouse is some 200 yards from the site of Wulfhall and dates from the late 16th century. In fiction Wulfhall is the inspiration for the title of Wolf Hall, the Man Booker Prize-winning novel by English author Hilary Mantel, as well as its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies, which also won the Man Booker Prize and begins with the 1535 arrival of the King at Wolf Hall.
