INTERIOR in process of renovation and much now removed on
ground floor. First floor comprises 2 ranges at right angles
each with a late rudimentary crown post roof with step stops
and face halved and bladed scarf in collar purlin of E-W
range. This range of 3 bays with external bracing apparently
of stud type. N-S range cut down on N side. Although the
exterior appearance is of an L-shaped hall house, there being
a 'cross passage' bay in the angle, there is no evidence for
service doors and the tie-beam at the cross passage - hall
junction has soffit mortices for a fully constructed
partition. The house may have been constructed by butting a
E-W cross-wing against an existing N-S 2-storeyed range.
Evidence to elucidate the building's history is lacking but
construction dates probably, (1) c1525/50, (2) 1570/80.
