14/28 Tang House and Tang Cottage, and attached 23.4.52 garden wall with gate piers and corner piers - II
House, now 2 dwellings, with front garden wall, 2 pairs of gate piers and corner pier to right. House: dated 1754. For Richard Bilton. Coursed squared gritstone, purple slate roof. Cottage: C17 rebuild of C16 or earlier house, probably altered 1754. Gritstone rubble, straw thatched roof supported on crucks. Wall of coursed gritstone rubble. House: 2 storeys, 2 bays. Quoins. Central half-glazed 4-panel door in eared architrave with pitched-stone hood on 2 stone brackets. Windows of 3 lights with flat-faced mullions. Inscribed stone tablet in architrave above door: 'This building / erected by / Richard Bilton / Anno Dom 1754'. Shaped kneelers, gable coping, tall corniced end stacks. Cottage: single storey with attic, 2 bays. 3-panel door in sawn-stone surround far right, recessed-chamfered mullion windows of 3 and 4 lights, centre and left. Raised verge with coping and kneeler to left. Rear: C19 and C20 extensions. Interior: not inspected at resurvey but reported to contain one and possibly 2 pairs of cruck blades. Garden wall fronting house and cottage: approximately 1.2 metres high; piers to 2 gates and corner pier to right: approximately 1.5 metres high, square in section and with multi faceted finials. The earliest feature of this group is the cruck truss, or trusses which belonged either to an earlier timber framed house or to a house with stone walls as remain at the Cottage. In 1754 that building was probably partly demolished to allow for the new house, the earlier structure remaining as a service room or outbuilding. The building has subsequently been divided into 2 houses, with extensions to the rear.
