10/102 Nos. 1 and 2, Norrell's Cottages

- II

House, now 2 cottages. Early C16 and c.1600. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. 3-bay main range (no. 1) facing NE, with axial stack in middle bay, forming a lobby-entrance, c.1600. 2-bay crosswing to right (no. 2), early C16, with C20 internal stack at rear. Main range of one storey with attics, crosswing of 2 storeys. 3 C20 casements on ground floor, 2 on first floor, and one more in gabled dormer. 2 C20 doors. The crosswing is jettied to the front, with 3 plain brackets exposed. The main stack has a moulded string course, a billet-moulded cornice and 3 rebuilt octagonal shafts. Crosswing hipped at rear. The main range has jowled posts, chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of horizontal section, a trimmed stair trap in the left bay, and a joggled butt-purlin roof. The internal tiebeams are missing or severed. On the first floor a cast iron ducknest grate of c.1800. The crosswing is of exceptional width; it has close studding with straight braces trenched to the inside, a chamfered binding beam with step stops, jowled posts without an internal tiebeam, with arched braces rising to a low collar with central peg, apparently for a crownpost. No access to roof above this level. This is a rare roof construction in Essex; another example is known at Round Hill House, Lamarsh. Mainly plastered internally. This farmhouse was probably built for the Norrell family, and altered c.1600 by John Norrell or his son Augustine. The latter died in 1626 and the family lost possession of the land at that time. (K. Wrightson and D. Levine, Poverty and Piety in an English Village, Terling 1525-1700, 1979, 108, 138, 149, 178). RCHM 23.
