[Note - where there is confusion or discrepancy between sources regarding the date of a building, the Royal Commission survey (which is the most detailed and recent) has been taken as the most reliable.]
This building originated as a timber-framed building, perhaps in the 17th century. In the early 18th century it was cased in stone and a single room wing was added to the rear. This had a stone ground floor with a timber-framed upper floor. Another rear wing, of red brick, was added in the 18th century with further additions in the early 19th century. It was formerly the Roe Buck Inn, which was owned by widow Walker in 1717, and which had stables, a large yard and a garden. There is a datestone inscribed 'EW 1704' (the W is possibly for Walker) on the front of the house. The interior includes 18th and early 19th century fireplaces and some reused 18th century stair balusters. The fittings of the west room, including a fireplace and panelled cupboards, indicate its use as a kitchen. There is also a barn, possibly of 18th century date, which was raised in height around 1800 to provide stables with lofts. {1}
This building dates to the early 18th century [this date is probably wrong - see above]. It is two storeys in height and built of ashlar stone with a slate roof. It has a carriage arch to the right and a flat arch to Goldsmith Lane to the left. It has a datestone of 1704. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1600 - 1950 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
