1 The front of the house is now bricked, but the W side and rear are timbered. There are two wings at the rear of the house but the timbering is not identical. The house stands on a stone plinth and has a central chimney stack with a panelled shaft. The upper floor levels are different and at the front the W window is lower than the rest. In the 18th century an extra room was added to the E of the house. The original front door is retained and it has moulded panels and ornamental strap hinges. It is marked as building No. 39 on the 1550 - 1650 map in this book.

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.
