Timber framed, plastered. Overhanging 1st floor on west side. Some original
windows and leaded lights, transom and mullion. Renewed tiles. 2 storey
and attic, 3 dormers and gable end windows. Mid C19 Tudor type gabled porch

Elizabeth was there (at Oxford) in 1566". Richard Whately, later Archbishop
of Dublin, was Rector in 1822.
