Summary

No 63 is a complex building. It appears to have begun as a small flint and brick house of 1586, extended and gaining an ornate timber-framed parlour block in the early 17th century. Futher extensions to the north, south and west may date to the late 17th century. The building contains unusual items of carved woodwork and stained glass derived from elsewhere, and there are fragments of medieval carved stone in the garden.
