Part of 19th century brick skin removed and replaced in 2006. Photographs in file show a timber framed wall with widely spaced studs and a long straight brace, suggesting late 17th/18th century date. Late brick infill on site of blocked windows, otherwise wattle and daub. At centre, what seems to be the end of a beam supported on a reused timber below a large patch of brickwork.
