Full Description
Photographs in (S1) show L-shaped building with shaped gables at 'head' and 'foot' of L (directions not given). Flint with brick trimmings. 'Foot' gable wall has central brick stack to gable, visible only above an eaves level string course. Another course at first floor level continues right round building.
Plinth topped in brick. Windows in side wall of this wing, and in main body of building on this face, on both floors are wooden-cross type but seem late copies.
Two doorways also appear late or altered. Small stack central to main block. Appearance suggests mid to late 17th century, altered.
Child's shoe of 17th century type found in 'knocking through a fireplace'.
However J. Denny (Norfolk County Council) believes the building is mainly a recent copy, though he does not rule out an old core.
Press cuttings (S1) and (S2) in file. Farmhouse converted to The Wheatsheaf Public House in 1982 to 1983.
E. Rose (NAU), 22 March 1983.
