Source Number  

1 A large 3 storey (2 storey plus attics), stone building of c1600 altered and added to during the reign of Queen Anne and refronted on the west later in the 18th century. The west front has two gables and short projecting wings with a three-piece centre between. The centre of this also has a small gable and below it a tripartite lunette window. Under this is a venetian window and below that a verandah of Tuscan columns. The columns are said to have come from the Elizabethan Western House WA 2387. There is a moulded stone pilastered doorway. To left and right of the front are low one-bay pavilions with pilasters. One bay has a window, the other has a niche. On the east front the 3 gables with their stone mullioned windows are in their original state of c.1600. There is a Queen Anne brick addition on the north, and a wing at the south-east with a semi-cicular termination. The wooden balustraded verandah on the south side of the House is of the same date as these additions.

period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
