GV II
House. C17, extended c.1908. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red plain tiles. 2 bays aligned NE-SW, with internal axial stack at NE end, and fragment of an earlier building to NE. Small single-storey extension to E, and large extension to SE, the whole forming an irregular H-plan. 2 storeys. All windows are C20 casements. C20 door in SW elevation of extension. The earlier fragment comprises the jowled post and tiebeam of a lower building, C16 or earlier, possibly an open hall, exposed externally against the NE gable end of the main building, with a filled mortice for a former wall brace. More of the same truss may be absorbed into the small extension to the E. The main range has chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists of vertical section. 2 inserted posts at SW end, re-used. Large wood-burning hearth with 0.23 metre jambs, converted to a cupboard. The owner reports that formerly there was a winder stair NW of the stack. Upper storey plastered internally. Clasped purlin roof, the ends of the purlins projecting to NE. Deeds in the possession of the owner show that this house was formerly owned and occupied by G.F. Beaumont, historian, author of A History of Coggeshall in Essex, 1890. A map of 1731 shows the main range as one of a continuous row of cottages; the road was then called New Row (Essex Record Office, D/DU 19/2).
