Interior: the low left-hand wing appears to be an intact survival of the
row of canons' houses for Wingham College, founded by Archbishop Peckham,
1282, and building from 1283 onwards. The undercroft, the jetty, and the
sans-purlin roof are all of that date. The 2-storey range, although on a
C13 undercroft is late C15, with contemporary panelling, and fine crown-
post roof.
The historical and architectural details for this and many other
buildings in Wingham are to be found in A. Hussey, Chronicles of Wingham,
1896; E.W.Parkin, Arch. Can. XCIII, 1977; and an upublished thesis for
Canterbury University by Dr. David
