Description


TILTON ON THE HILL

SK 70 NW MAIN STREET (West Side)

1/119 Outbuilding at Manor Farm

GV II

Disused outbuilding, possibly former dwelling. C16 or earlier. Coursed ironstone rubble, the original roof removed and replaced by one that is almost flat. Single celled structure, formerly with 2 storeys. Doorway in centre of north elevation, with rough timber lintel and stone jamb chamfered internally. One very low window on each side, with stone jambs and heads, their position indicative of a change in ground level. Upper 2-light wood mullioned window with wood lintel. String course. South elevation has traces of a former ground floor opening, to the left, a round arched head with voussoirs. Above, a large window with chamfered stone surround. Additional stone window at first floor level in east gable. Inside, a 4-centred arched and chamfered stone fireplace in centre of south wall is partially obscured by the risen floor level.

The building is known locally as the Chapel and its site suggests the possibility that it might be a fragment of a small monastic hospital founded at Tilton in the C13 but whose later history is obscure.
