Full Description
PRN 23767
The building appears to have its origins in the late medieval period as a half timbered structure resting on a stone plinth. The building under went approximately six phases of redevelopment including the conversion of the two cottages into a single building. The building currently has a Georgian facade, but a wall plate in the eaves can still be seen and hints at its earlier timber frame heritage. {1}
These two cottages were originally one single building constructed from oak. The building had a crown post roof which was the predominant form during the medieval period. Dendrochronological dating was used to date the felling of the timbers and therefore the building was almost certainly built in 1444. It comprised of three bays. One bay, the eastern bay, had two storey accomodation which was probably for the master of the house. The other two bays formed an open hall which was used as a workspace, eating and sleeping area for the whole household. {2}
