NHER 19352 (Building record) - Park Farm

July 1983. Visit. Park Farm.
Marked as The Firs on 6" OS (S1) which shows Park Farm further east. Two storeyed rendered house. One room roughly central to house on ground floor has a central longitudinal ceiling beam with double roll moulding and hollow chamfer, and flat underside, with stops. Midwall rail with similar mouldings forms cornice to room, with stops at junctions with beam. The room has been subdivided over 50 years at least to form a staircase on the west side, in which part of the mouldings are visible. Next room to west has a boxed beam in the opposite alignment. Nothing of age visible. Farmer stated that no features were visible anywhere else in the house. Though much might be covered by the modern decoration. No real evidence for saying the beams are reset. Date is of the mid-16th century. Probably the house is an altered building of this date.
Information from [1] describes as having 'old carved beams perhaps from an older house on the site'.
