Notes about this historic site

1 From the front this appears to be a late 18th or early 19th century house, but there is some timbering in the rear rooms and it would seem to be a re-fronting of an older house. Occupancy is noted from 1548 – 1851. In 1606 it was described as being of three bays and there was a barn and a cowhouse of three bays. At the rear of the house there is a building, once a malt house, made of large blocks of local sandstone. It is marked as building No. 44 on the 1550 – 1650 map in this book.
