Aisle has cat slide roof and cottage doorways with monolithic jambs flanked by
flat faced mullioned windows of 4 lights to the left and 2 lights to the right.
Interior: Substantial remains of timber-framed house with close studded wall to
arcade plate and fully framed wall between chamber over hall and cross-wing. No
sign of communication between chambers suggests open hall. Through passage has
ogee timber arched doorway with chamfered surround into housebody which
preserves heck post, firescreen with attached settle, bressumer resting on
original outside post. Inside fire area is spice cupboard with plaster needed
surround and decorative plaster over. Chamber over preserves remains of
original wall plate, tie beam with canted timbers for firehood braced to post
and morticed to soffit for firehood. This house preserves largely intact a
late medieval timber-framed hall and original solar wing. The hall was enlarged
in the stone casing and it is remarkable that the earlier timber structure was
preserved in the chamber over the housebody. A rare and important survival.
