NHER 15321 (Building record) - The Gables

September 1976. Visit.
House, dated 1746.
South façade of three bays, two storeys with string course; chequered brickwork on flint plinth. Shaped gables, also chequered but of a lighter brick. This may indicate the gable walls of a different date but shaped gables as late as this known elsewhere in Norfolk. Tiled roof but obviously once thatched.
