Coombe Wood House)

II

Built on its present site in 1911-12, but incorporates timbers from a late medieval
timber-framed building in Colchester (probably the Perseverance Inn, demolished in
1910). Large detached house. 2 storeys. Advanced gable to left. 5 bays long
range to right, with two storey advanced bay containing oriel and Tudor arched
wooden doorway. Close timber studding with red brick nogging (some old brick
used). Tiled roof. The interior contains some linenfold panelling of late C15 date
and some later C16 panelling; also some specimens of heraldic glass dating from the
15th to the 17th centuries, collected by the original owner, an antiquarian. The
house was considerably extended in 1915 in the Tudor style. The traditional
connection of the house with Catherine Parr, 6th wife of Henry VIII is probably
legendary.
