Full Description
L-shaped house comprising a jettied building with gable stack and flint ground floor containing medieval masonry perhaps indicating building erected soon after rebuilding of the church chancel in the 1480s. Later wing 16th/17th century; cladding and heightening around 1800, some interior panelling of this date. At rear Weavers Cottage, a building of around 1600 razed in the 19th century but still an important example of a weaving shed with store cellar and original divisions.
