Farmstead of several phases, possibly Medieval in origin. House and barn both cruck-framed. Later alterations.

Wallpaintings; Stencil painting: random geometric pattern of triangles and ovals. 18th century. (2000.09.28/RCAHMW/DJR)
[Additional:] This wall painting, recorded by AJP in 1974, has been destroyed. (2004.02.10/RCAHMW/RFS)

[Additional:] A late-medieval hall-house in origin: a single smoke-blackened cruck-truss survives embedded in the inserted hall/kitchen chimney. The post-and-panel partition is probably later. Three cruck-trusses survive in the former barn. Both ranges were sampled for tree-ring dating in Feb. 2004.
