House. C15/16. Timber-framed, weatherboarded and rendered with
peg-tiled roof. 3-celled, 4-bayed small medieval house with
2-bayed hall with cross entry, flanked by 2-storeyed bays
(service and solar). External arched and tension bracing.
Solar bay jettied with evidence of 2-light mullioned window
under jetty. Jetty joists flat laid, evidence of stair trap.
Hall originally open to roof (heavy sooting) with large window
to rear with central king mullion and transom and 8 lights.
Front window probably similar from evidence of peg spacing.
Hall was divided by decorative tie-beam truss, posts having
deep internal fillet continued onto deep arch braces (peg
evidence). Cambered tie-beam supports a crown post of square
section with deeply projecting fillets on each face. Cross
entry doorways with medieval arched doorheads and joints
indicate an original spere or screen separating passage from
hall. Pair of service doorways remain with square, chamfered
heads. Original service bay now lost, only mortices for floor
joists (centre tenoned) remain. This bay replaced in the C17
with a bay with queen post roof and Roman numerals on the
members. In late C17 or C18 hall divided horizontally and
chimney-stack inserted at the central truss and dormer windows
to upper storey. C20 extension to rear of service bay. C20,
paned, casement windows. Example of small medieval hall house,
jettied chamber and evidence of spere/screen important.
