SX9067 FORE STREET, Barton 885-1/5/329 (North side) 10/01/75 Nos.191 AND 193 Manor Farmhouse including remains of linhay at rear

GV II*

Shown on OS map as Nos 191 and 193. Farmhouse, now house, and remains of linhay at rear. Early C16 in origin, alterations of the late C16/early C17 and of c1730; late C20 repairs and alterations. Plastered cob; thatched roof, half-hipped at left end, hipped at right end; axial stack with plastered shaft to right of centre, right-end stack. PLAN: Originally a 3-room and through-passage open hall house, 2-room plan higher end to the left, consisting of an open hall and a floored inner room; lower end to the right, possibly unheated. In the late C16/early C17 the hall was floored. In c1730 the lower end was altered as a smart parlour with rear right corner fireplace. This end of the house was re-roofed. A small rear right wing at right-angles may have been added at the same time. Rear outshut behind higher end is probably late C18 in date and may have functioned as a dairy. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front, the eaves thatch eyebrowed over 2 first-floor 2-light casements, 6 panes per light. Shallow projecting porch to through passage has a lean-to slate roof on cheeks; late C20 vernacular style plank door. Ground-floor window left is a 3-light casement, 6 panes per light, ground-floor window right is a 2-light casement, 3 panes per light. Remains of linhay at rear has cylindrical stone rubble piers and modern roof. INTERIOR: Open hall phase discernible from the roof with a sooted side-pegged jointed cruck truss with mortised collar and original purlins and rafters below a later roof. Heavily-sooted infill to closed truss between hall and inner room. The late C16/early C17 phase includes the inserted hall fireplace, stack backing onto the passage, with a timber lintel and stone jambs. Chamfered cross beams with step stops to hall and inner room, partition between hall and inner room missing. Part of a plank and muntin screen between passage and lower end survives. The c1730s phase is evident in a 2-panel door, corner cupboard and angle fireplace to the lower end room, which was a parlour at this date, one 2-panel door on first floor. Roof over lower end not seen on survey but said to the C18 in character Late C20 stair rises from passage, replacing earlier newel. A good example of an evolved house of late medieval origins in an area of the county mostly developed in the C19.
