irregular fenestration. No 44 to left, north, of range, of single bay: below, 4-light hollow-chamfer mullioned window
with 4-centre arched lights having incised spandrils, in wave-mould recess with label; above C20 3-light window in
added gabled dormer; to left chamfered cambered doorway with label and incised spandrils: on north gable two 3-light

4-light mullioned window below and 3-light above, both rectangular-leaded, the upper window set into gable crowned with
circular stone chimney stack; to right in ovolo-mould cambered-arched doorway with label. No 40 has a 3- and a 2-light

chamfered-arched doorway: the 4-light is of earlier pattern, with deep returns to label. South gable has two 2-light
windows with late C15/early C16 cinquefoil cusped lights, deep labels with headstops, and a later 2-light. Rear
elevation obscured, but features gabled projection in centre. Interior not seen. Said to have been a parsonage, it may
have extended further east; in C17 was known as Higher House, one substantial dwelling (VCH, Vol III, 1974).
