dentilled-pedimented doorcase. Sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone
architraves. Right entrance has 1690 bolection surround with inscribed panel

stone-mullioned windows with mullions removed. Extension has large C19
chamfered-surround sash window. Sash window with glazing bars above in painted

now window, has reused lintel inscribed EX DONO ROBERT VAUX DE BROWNRIGG ANNO
DOMINI, 1688, from the demolished school in the churchyard. The 2 inscriptions
to different owners in 1690 seem to indicate that the house was built at an
earlier C17 date by the Vaux family (of Brownrigg) and the date was added to
that inscription by the Addisons.
