KENN CLAPHAM SX 88 NE
1/150 No 3, The Palms -
GV II
Small house. Circa early C16, remodelled and partly re-roofed in the circa early C17, late C20 extension at the left end. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble ; thatched roof, gabled at left end ; left end stack with brick shaft. Plan: Part of a medieval open hall house, remodelled in the circa early C17. Although the details of the evolution of the building are not entirely clear it appears to have been the lower end of a late medieval open hall house and retains some C16 sooted roof timbers. The left end truss is probably C17, suggesting that the end of the house was either rebuilt or extended when the chimney stack was added, which may have occurred before the building was floored. The higher end of the house (Centre Cottage) has been modernized but retains a cross passage. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2 window front, the eaves thatch eyebrowed over the 2 first floor windows. C20 entrance through addition at the left end of the old block. Interior: The ground floor room has an unexpectedly massive open fireplace, the scroll-stopped lintel almost at the height of the ceiling beams, with good ashlar sandstone jambs and a bread oven on the back wall of the stack. A chamfered post supports the scroll-stopped crossbeam. Roof: 2 different types of trusses ; one, over the right end of the house, definitely medieval and encrusted with soot with a threaded ridge, the second, stained but not soot-encrusted with a ridge resting on the apex and a halved lapped collar. A traditional house of medieval origins, group value with the thatched cottage opposite.
