Bay's Farm [NAT]. <1>
Bay's Farmhouse. House of the 16th century, extended in the 17th and early 19th century. Grade II. <2>
Bay's Farm, house, was built, probably in the first half of the 16th century, on a rectangular plan. Probably early in the 17th century a long wing was added, projecting towards the west, and making the plan L-shaped. The extension of the original wing towards the south is modern. At the north end of the original wing the upper storey projects on curved brackets. Inside the building, the original wing has two roof-trusses with cambered tie-beams, curved braces and shaped wall-posts. <3>
