I
Circa 1320 by Bishop Stephen de Gravesend. An aisled timber hall of 4 bays which
survived complete until 1825 when half was pulled down and replaced by a stuccoed
brick villa. This was "tudorised" in 1850 with gables and one bay added and faced in
recently invented Portland Cement. At north-west corner C13 ruins of building of
unknown purpose of flint and chalk in chequers.
The hall is enclosed by an 11 ft high wall of knapped flint with dressings of Caen
stone. The tiled roof is supported on 21 in diameter oak columns carrying deeply
moulded curved braces to aisle purlins and to cambered beam which supports a squat
crown post. This is braced to short collars and the medial purlin. Mouldings stopped
with leaf carvings as on the capitals. One remaining gabled dormer window trannioned
in stone. Dais at west end. Chamber on first floor. Library has early C19 "Gothick"
bookcases. Semi-circular stair also C19.
