Bartlett's Farm [NAT]. <1>
Bartlett's Farm, house, now two tenements, was built late in the 16th century. There are traces of the foundations of a former wing on the north-east side. The central chimney-stack has four octagonal shafts with moulded bases; the upper part of the shafts has been removed.
Inside the building, there are several moulded and battened doors, with iron hooks and strap-hinges. The staircase in the north-west tenement has a central newel and oak-treads; at the top is a balustrade with original flat, shaped balusters. The staircase in the south-east tenement is of oak and has a moulded terminal. On the first floor the middle room has an original fireplace now blocked, with moulded stone jambs and three-centred head. <2>
