1/90 Tinker's Green Farmhouse

- II

House. Late C16, altered in C20. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. 3 bays facing SE, with axial stack in middle bay. Single-storey wing to left, of similar date. C20 extension to rear of right end. One storey with attics. 3 C20 casements, 2 more in gabled dormers. The right dormer has the date 1663 inscribed in the plaster, which may relate to the insertion of the dormer. C20 door. Grouped diagonal shafts, rebuilt. The interior has jowled posts, exposed heavy studding with curved braces trenched to the inside, an edge-halved and bridled scarf in the front wallplate. Both floors are on pegged clamps, but are original, although slightly raised. The floor of the left bay has a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, supported at the left end on an original jowl with decorative serrated lower border, and plain joists of horizontal section. In the rear wall is an original window with 3 ovolo mullions and 4 saddle bars, now enclosed by the C20 exten- sion. The main hearth, partly rebricked, has an original salt or spice cupboard with pivoted door having a decorative inscribed design of lozenge pattern. There are a number of early doors, including one on the first floor of moulded oak planks, early C17 or original, and a 3-plank door on the ground floor. The timber structure indicates that this house was built as a lobby- entrance plan facing NW towards Tinker's Green, and the surviving window would have then been at the front. Wall bracing SE of the central stack shows that the present stair is in the position of the original stair, and that there was never a doorway here. At some later time, probably when the Green was enclosed, the house has been reversed to face SE. RCHM 34. The decorative jowl is similar to one at Street Farmhouse, 7/10, (q.v.).
