II*
House, 1668 with earlier, possibly C16th, remains. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof at the front and slate roof at the rear. Now a central- entry plan with end stacks and single-storey porch. 2 storeys. Windows double-chamfered with mullions. To the left of the porch is one of 4 lights with a hood, with a similar one to the right of the porch. On the 1st floor is a 4-light window to the left, a 2-light window near the middle and reconstructed 2-light window to the right. The porch has a stone slate roof with finial. Some of its stone has C19th tooling, but the wide chamfered outer doorway has a lintel with a false 4-centred arch. The inner chamfer doorway has '1668' incised on the lintel. The right-hand (east) gable has 2 one-light blocked chamfered windows on the 1st floor. The rear wall also has double-chamfered mullioned windows, with hoods to those on the ground floor. To the right is one formerly of 4 lights, now with 2 mullions. Towards the middle is one of 2 lights, with a modern extension to the left. On the 1st floor are 2 2-light windows with a 4-light window to the right. Interior. The front door opens into a lobby with a reconstructed spiral stone stair. The internal walls are timber-framed, with chamfered wooden doorways with triangular heads opening from the lobby to left and right. The right-hand front room has a moulded shouldered stone fireplace with cornice mantel and a lintel having moulded panels and a fluted false keystone. The left-hand room has a projecting chimney breast and a modern fireplace. On the 1st floor the left-hand partition wall has herringbone bracing to the studs, with a king post rising from the tie, visible in the attic, and also having herringbone bracing. The right-hand truss has raking queen struts. Against the front wall the tie beam is braced downwards to a jowled post, just visible above the stair. This suggests the possibility that the house was once timber-framed and later encased in stone. Until 1811 the house was Chipping vicarage. John Wesley stayed there, and in 1753 preached after being prevented from speaking in the church.
