INTERIOR: much rebuilt but outer timber-framing of principal block visible on first floor with face halved and bladed scarf joints also typical triangular sectioned clamps for attic floor joists. Ground floor has one surviving axial joist with lamb's tongue chamfer stops, linked to stack in N end. Similar one to S end, replaced by RSJ in C20. Passage-way from central porch now cut through central stack. Block to N has a single undecorated axial joist aligned E-W. The principal block is a symmetrical, 2-celled, 2 storey and attic, lobby entrance house of the early C17 with contemporary rear stair tower. The 2-storey porch may also date to the same time although much reworked. The block to the N may be earlier and represent the cross-wing of an older house, kept at the time of C17 rebuilding to serve as an attached kitchen. The building was the old Ingrave Rectory and is described in a terrier of 1610 as `a house containing a hall, a parlour, a buttery, 2 lofts and a study and also a kitchen, a millhouse and a house for poultry , a barn, a stable and a hay house --- and about 32 acres of glebe' (Newcourt 1710). The house description given is in accord with the present surviving principal block and kitchen at the N end. (Newcourt R: History of the Diocese of London: 1710-).
