Description


SP 0738 CHILDSWICKHAM CP THE CROSS 7/160 The Old Cottage 30.7.59 GV II House. C18, with earlier, possibly C16, remains. Squared limestone with remains of cruck frame and hipped stone slate roof. Two storeys. North wall has a window with plain reveals on each floor. At the left is a door with plain reveals under a stone slated pitched hood. The lintel of the door frame is inscribed: "W 175- V". This could date the replacement of a timber-framed wall by the present front wall. Towards the right is a chimney stack with a very small window in its front wall. A straight joint suggests that it is earlier than the remainder of the front wall. Against the west wall is a mid-C20 lean-to addition, with two dormers above. Interior: front room has inglenook fireplace of stone and a chamfered main joist running from front to back. The common joists are laid flat. The partition wall between the front and back ground floor rooms contains a cruck truss. The western blade is visible from the stair and has an outrider, and a spur now sawn through. A collar is halved across the blade. The eastern cruck blade is visible on the first floor.
