Rather than being a mid 18th Century brick and render farmhouse of conventional form as suggested by the List description the building is a partially timber framed 16th Century structure with reused earlier timber work. The building had simply been re-clad in the 18th Century. Part of a prayer book from the 17th Century had been torn up and used to fill holes in the timber work. Pers Comm Erik Matthews (CYC)
