4/261 The Dolphin Public House
GV II
House, now public house. Mid-C16, altered in C18. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red plain tiles. Single range facing SE comprising one long bay, and one short bay at each end. C19 internal stack against front wall of long bay. C17/18 one-bay extension to left, with external stack at end. One storey with attics. Single-storey lean-to extension with slate roof at rear, and C20 flat-roofed single-storey extension beyond. 3 C20 and 2 C19 sashes, and 4 C20 sashes in slate-roofed lean-to dormers. C20 door. Gambrel roof, half-hipped at right end. Chamfered axial beam with step stops in each bay; plain joists of horizontal section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches. Trimmed stair trap, blocked, in rear of right bay. The former partition between this bay and the long bay has been removed, and the rear half of the beam. Most of the studding of the rear wall has been removed for the bar and for modern apertures. The left extension has plain joists arranged longitudinally, supported on a pegged clamp, and some modern joists. The frame is illustrated in C.A. Hewett, The Development of Carpentry, 1200-1700, an Essex Study, 1969, 150 (wrongly attributed to the parish of Bradwell-juxta-Coggeshall). Hewett dated it c.1565, but the step stops indicate that this is the latest possible date. RCHM 14.
