TL 73 NE TILBURY-JUXTA-CLARE TILBURY HILL, East Side 4/1 Barrack Cottages, NE End GV II

Public building of uncertain purpose, mid-C16 or earlier, now a cottage. Timber framed, partly plastered, partly weatherboarded, partly bricked, roof of handmade red clay tiles. 3 bays aligned NE-SW with chimney stack in N corner of middle bay. External chimney stack at SW end, now enclosed in adjacent cottage. 2 storeys. SE elevation plastered, 2 C19 plain boarded doors with tiled lean-to porches, one open, one weatherboarded, 2 C19 cast iron lattice windows, one C19 wooden casement window. First floor, 2 C19 wooden casement windows. The interior has jowled posts, heavy studding, one complete unglazed window with 3 diamond mullions in upper part of the NW wall. The binding beams, tiebeams and posts are chamfered with step stops. All joists plain and of horizontal section, running lengthwise. The wallplate scarfs are face-halved, bladed at one end and housed at the other (Hewett 1980, figure 269). Clasped purlin roof with curved wind-bracing. The internal stack is of C16 bricks. Originally there were no partitions on either floor. This building cannot have been domestic in origin, and must have served some public function, probably as a court house. It is a rare type, substantially unaltered, and therefore of exceptional historic interest.
