Withersley
II
Farmhouse. Early/mid-C16 to north, with late-C16/early-C17 addition to south. Oak
pegged timber-frame of heavy scantling with plaster and brick in-fill. Hipped
corrugated-iron roof with boarded eaves over surviving thatch. Brick ridge stack.
EXTERIOR: Single-storey and attic with gable to right that has moulded bressumer
jettied over entrance. C19 2-light casement to gable and C19 plank door. Rear
elevation has timber-framed gable to left over rubble panel. To right, gable dormer
with C19 3-light casement over C19 casements.
INTERIOR: Massive rubble base to chimneystack with C19 oven under chamfered
bressumer. Spine beam is chamfered and with stops and joists supporting C18 floor.
Framed partition, with some wattle and daub in-fill, to north end where roof is
hipped, now with partial loft. C19 stair within plank enclosure with door leading to
attic. Roof has single purlins, slightly curved wind braces, trusses with tie beam,
short struts, collar and v-struts. Attic is boarded over, while most of the ground
floor has framing exposed internally.
HISTORY: Seems to have been built as an open hall in the early/mid-C16, with the
shorter bay to the south added in the late-C16/early-C17, also unfloored and
unheated, and with the moulded bressumer over the entrance. The partitioned north
bay may have served as a smoke bay. A floor and stone fireplace were inserted into
the early range around the C18. Floor in the later range is C19.
Listed as a small timber-framed C16 and later farmhouse, with an interesting if not
fully understood history, relatively untouched since the C19.
