preserved. Solar at E end with heavy flat axial joists and steep stair
against rear wall, and trimmed stair opening in SW corner of former

fireplaces, and formerly an oven, inserted in lower bay of hall in C18

dormer inserted. Divided in C19 sharing central chimney. No.1 at E. A
most interesting survival of a late medieval small open hall house.
