Statement of Interest

Allegedly the 19th century work was prompted out of

rivalry between the Thurston and Biel estates at opposite

ends of the village, Innerwick House belonging to the

latter estate. The earlier house with steep gable pitch

and 5-bay S elevation, would have been more imposing before

the detrimental 19th century work.
