3/93 Stone House -
- II
House. Early to mid- C17 with C18 or C19 alterations and late C20 addition. Roughly dressed red sandstone and uncoursed red sandstone rubble with grey sandstone ashlar dressings; C20 machine tile roof. T-plan with projecting 2-bay gabled cross wing to left. One storey and attic. Central brick ridge stack. Two C20 plate-glass square windows in C19 openings to right, that to left with segmental brick head; cross wing to left has double-chamfered 3-light stone mullioned window to each floor with coved dripmould above each and square datestone in apex of gable inscribed: "IC/16?9" (possibly 1629 or 1639) with dripmould above. Right-hand gable end with ground-floor 3-light casement and 2-light attic casement. Late C20 addition set back to left with boarded door to right. Interior: collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts and v-struts; timber framed cross walls; chamfered beams and joists with ogee stops; large open fireplace with chamfered dressed sandstone reveals and large lintel; winder staircase with chamfered square newel post. The initials on the datestone might refer to Joseph Charlton who occupied a one-hearth house in the village in 1662. The house had ceased to be a farmhouse in 1844. The cross wing is built of roughly dressed Cl7 masonry but the hall range is of uncoursed rubble which might be a C18 or C19 rebuilding. V.C.H., Vol. VIII, p.150. ~ ~
