Source Number  

1 Row of houses. Probably early 17th century, with later alterations. Irregular timber-framing, with some close-studding to left, having rendered infill; roughcast, probably on timber-framing to centre and right; old plain-tile roof; various brick stacks. Two storey, six window range. Plank doors with 19th century gabled hoods on brackets, to left, left of centre, centre, right of centre, and to right. Irregular fenestration of casements. Cross-gable to left of centre with Queen-post roof truss. Queen-post roof truss to gable end to left. Interiors not inspected.
2 This property has now been divided into five cottages. It was almost certainly originally one house of the hall and Cross wing type. Now rendered externally with pebble dash, timber framing has been exposed on a gable end wall during recent renovations. At the same time a brick oven was found, but regretfully had to be destroyed. There is much timbering internally; the ceiling beams are very low. It is marked as building No. 34 on the 1550 - 1650 map in this book.
