section retains some wattle and daub and evidence of a window.
House appears to have consisted initially of main block, cross and
stair wings, of late C16, extension on left of 3 periods in C17. A
fire in main block first floor led to partial reroofing in 1843
(carved on truss; smoke blackening), when interior partly altered;
windows largely date from this time or later.
