1 There have been many additions to this house at different periods. The central portion and eastern cross wing probably constitute the original house, now bricked, but the timber is exposed in the northern gable of the wing. The southern end of the wing was extended, probably in the 18th century when most of the house was bricked and a central rear wing added. In the 19th century a further cross wing, partially pebble dashed and with a higher roof, was added to the west of the house. It includes the dairy and the kitchen. It is marked as building No.38 on the 1550 - 1650 map in this book.

Description  
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.
