gauged brick flat arches and 2-light small-pane casements. Boarded entrance
door at the side. A C15 3-cell open hall house facing west; the service end
within a projecting cross-wing at its south end, and a parlour cell at the
north end. Major alterations of late C16 include:- flooring-over and
conversion to kitchen of the open hall; service end cross-wing almost rebuilt,

Within the extension a new parlour formed, with full wainscotting and a frieze

Petronilla's Chapel in Bury St. Edmunds. The present house was leased to John
Smith of Gt. Horningsheath in 1522. (Gage, History of Thingoe Hundred, 1838).
