Detailed examination suggests (S1) is correct as to date but wrong in its interpretation.
Building contains much reused stone.
It may once have had another wing.
Interior of about 1600 on first floor but ground floor altered when it became a parish workhouse in late 18th century, then many other alterations when it became tenements in 19th century.
Many constructional features as yet unexplained.
