Map

Early 16th century house.
Repair works uncovered a ceiling with joists and midwall rails carved with multiple roll mouldings, see (S1).
Visited by sources [2] and [3] who state that this appears to be a high quality early 16th century ceiling, integral with the building, and the statement in (S1) that it is a 14th century ceiling from Creake Abbey cannot be accepted.
The photograph in (S1) confirms this.
