Description

BODENHAM CP off A 417 (west side) SO 55 SW 5/10 Outbuilding about one yard south-west of Englands Gate Inn GV II Outbuilding, possibly once a malt-house. C17, re-erected circa 1830 with mid-C20 alterations. Timber-framed with rendered infill on tall sandstone rubble base with machine-tiled roof. Three framed bays aligned north/south. Two levels and cellar Framing: three rows of square panels from sill to wall-plate, collar and tie-beam trusses with four struts at gable ends. There is a continuous row of eight 2-light windows at ground floor level on the west side and also a C20 cellar door. On the east side are two 2-light windows at ground floor level, the main entrance door and a cellar door. Interior: the roof is recorded to be of upper cruck type, typical of malt houses in this area of the C19. The continuous row of windows on the west side may replace ventilation louvres. A survey of 1828 records that the C17 frame was to be rebuilt on top of the heightened sandstone base and the building was then re-roofed.
