GV II

Cottage, now museum. Mid C17, altered, and recently restored. Timber frame of elm (on modern brick plinth), with rendered brick nogging, pantile roof. Rectangular plan of 3 structural bays, gable to road. Two low storeys; the timber framing exposed in both gable walls and on the north side (mostly above ground floor level) consists of corner and wall-posts, mid-rails, down-braces from the posts, regularly spaced studs, wallplates, and a roof truss in the east gable wall with 2 queen struts (the west gable wall apparently rebuilt); some timbers have scratched carpenter's marks, and the 1st bay on the north side incorporates an unglazed wooden diamond-mullion window at 1st floor (now with secondary glazing inside). The gabled facade to the road now has a small oriel window and a casement at ground floor, and an inserted 2-light casement above, breaking into the tie-beam; the north side has a modern gabled porch offset left of centre, a casement to the left and another above and to the right; the south side has 2 external chimney stacks (that to the rear probably C17); and the rear gable wall has a doorway and modern oriel at ground floor, and a 2-light casement above. Interior: exposed timber framing and some wattle-and-daub panels; staircase inserted in middle bay. History: erected on glebe land between 1642 and 1682, and occupied at the latter date by the widow of a falconer (reference: LDLHS History, pp 310, 312).
