February 2000. Field Observation.
Second inspection indicates that this was not a hall house but always two storey, with a firehood again sthe end wall; it may have been two-cell rather than three, but was on the cross passage plan. The east end was added or rebuilt, and a brick stack inserted by removing the old wall, in the early 17th century; the original building still being of around 1500.
