Full Description
Original house of three bays and two storeys. Segmented-pedimented central doorway in moulded brick. Window above blocked. Documentary records of disputes over window tax here. Giant corner pilasters. Moulded string course. Chequered brickwork, about 1670. Extension added as registry office in 1837 to what had been the parish clerk's house, therefore one of oldest purpose built in Britain. Extension is of equal height, two bays. At same time windows in older house altered and overall roof put on. Perhaps rear altered. Registry moved to Aylsham in 1850s when parish clerk was transported for fraud.
