NHER 23107 (Building record) - Yewtree Cottage, 30 The Street

1980s. Building Survey.
Survey by Brooke Society. Comes to conclusion that this was originally a small house, one room open hall with two upper storeyed service bay to side, 15th/16th century; gable firebay and upper floor added later.
However no photographs or drawings provided of the interior so it is impossible to comment on this hypothesis, except to say that the one exterior photograph provided does seem to show that the one gable stack is of 16th/17th century type.
See report (S1) for further details.
