Description

  
Source Number  

1 Ownership is noted from 1561 to 1665. The present house is in two sections; an early 19th century three storey building which forms the chief living part of the building, and a low two storey building which is at right angles to it. Although this part is faced with 18th century brick it appears to be of an earlier date. The two ground floor rooms are seperated by a wide entrance passage. A small enclosed stair leads to the upper floor which is open to the roof and contains no divisions. Windows, one in each gable, are of old glass and horn. It is marked as building No. 40 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.
