[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 two storey house includes part of a medieval hall, although it has much 19th century restoration. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a slate roof with central brick chimney stack. 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. {1}
The original medieval building was timber-framed and had three bays, the west two forming the hall, and all being open to the roof. The upper section of the partition between the hall and the other room still survives in the roof. The east wall has a fireplace which is set into a stone wall and therefore is not original. Some parts of the west wall are smoke blackened, suggesting that this was the original site of the fireplace. The current chimney is probably of early 19th century date. The roof has tie beams, collars, clasped purlins and curved windbraces. {2}
This building's medieval origins were considered 'doubtful' [prior to the Royal Commission survey - see above] and further investigation was recommended. Traces of a jettied first floor have been observed. {3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1400 - 1600 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
