1985. Visit.
East facade tallies with above description (except that stack was recorded as rectangular, not triple shafted in usual sense). But north gable wall to Meadow Lane seen 1985 - this clearly has timber corner posts and leans inward to produce an almost cruck shape. Together with offcentre stack this strongly suggests a much older core, but local people say interior has been gutted. Roof recently rethatched.
