Dated by Cecil Hewitt in (S2) to around 1495 to 1505 on comparison with Paycocke's House, Coggeshall, Essex. Apparently because it is of five bays. He states there are windbraces, expanded-topped posts. The stack is original with stair beside it. The parlour end is ornately carved and open to the roof on the upper floor. He quotes a further detailed description of changes in the house (S3) but his bibliography under Hewitt C.A. for 1972 gives only an article on Navestock Church, Essex (S4). No other Hewitt reference in bibliography seems to fit either.
