dressings; above the door is a small window with chamfered stone surround; blind
right bay has remains of plaster sundial. Roof is hipped to right and has one
hipped dormer to left of centre. Left gable wall has brick-quoined chimney
projection with tumbled off-sets. Roof projects at rear by more than a metre.
Right gable wall returns to rear range, containing present main entrance and
further heavy-framed casements in first 2 bays; rear 2 bays are mostly C20 but
wall extends beyond, with remains of 2 more windows, to link with churchyard
wall and now forms part of a C20 outbuilding. Interior: moulded and chamfered
beans. Roofs have 2 rows of windbraces, clasped upper purlins and butt lower
purlins. One truss has slightly curved principals. Attached wall running
eastwards is in coursed rubble with a stepped brick plinth and dentil course
