Full Description
August 1992.
Flint and brick building, apparently originally two-cell two storey and attic.
Some good beams and fireplaces survive but mainly gutted about 1960.
Date probably about 1700, interesting late survival.
East end added later in 18th century. Possibly remnant of an earlier building incorporated, but most evidence removed in 1960.
Sickle found in rear wall of a fireplace - it may have been ritually placed, part of a tradition of placing iron objects to keep evil spirits from entering the house.
