with a central cement panel between which is the size of one of the
lights. This has incised pargetting with the date AD/1865 to the top

bellcast to their lower edge. The gable has incised pargeting showing
sunflowers and foliage, a rising sun motif to the centre and pies to

lean-to porch which has two rectangular panels of incised pargetting
showing floral motifs again set with bottlenecks and a bottle bottom
of green glass which at the time of the resurvey (1985) had
unfortunately been overpainted. Service court to rear.
