Statement of Interest

The building was initially built as a stable and hayloft for the inn. In subsequent years it has been used as a fire station and is now used as a garage-store. There was formerly a cast-iron dolphin-spouted waterpump to left of entrance, W elevation which was stolen in recent years. According to Strang, there is a dated rainwater head (not seen, 1996).
