BUCKLAND-IN-THE-MOOR BUCKLAND-IN-THE-MOOR SX 77 NW 6/56 Church Cottage 23.8.55 GV II
House. Late medieval, remodelled late C16 or C17 and with C18 or C19 additions. Granite rubble, the quoins of main range formed by very large, roughly-squared granite blocks. Thatched roof. Granite chimneystack on each gable of main range, the older right-hand stack with thatch weatherings; left-hand stack has probably had shaft rebuilt in C19. Projecting wing to left has small granite stack in left- hand side-wall. Main range, which is largely medieval, has 2-room and cross-passage plan, the left-hand room being considerably the larger. Both rooms have gable- fireplaces. Projecting from the left-hand end of the front wall is a small cross- wing, probably added in C18 or C19. Against left-hand gable of main range, and at left-hand end of rear wall, are small lean-tos. 4-window front, the left-hand window set in the cross-wing. All windows have small-paned wood casements, mostly C19 but with some C20 replacements. Doorway in second bay from right has C20 plank door with ornate strap-hinges and studded ribs; C20 wooden hood with slated pent- roof. Interior has been considerably altered, though in keeping with its C19 character. Left-hand ground-storey room has chamfered upper-floor beams without stops; very large gable-fireplace with plain jambs and C20 wood lintel. Roof of main range appears to be mostly late medieval with smoke-blackened trusses, purlins, common rafters and thatching spars, the whole encased in a later roof-structure. Principal rafters have plain feet together with threaded purlins and ridge-piece; mortices for collars, all now removed. Wing has C18 or C19 trusses at a much lower pitch than the C20 roof-structure which encases them. The building is believed to be the former Church House. Churchwardens' and Overseers' accounts refer to such a building in C17 and C18; this one seems the most likely house of those now surviving in the hamlet.
