Pitley Farm [NAT]. <2>
Pitley Farm, house, 1 3/4 miles NNW of the church, was built, probably late in the 16th century, on an L-shaped plan with the wings extending towards the NE and NW; more recent additions make the plan quadrangular, and there is a modern porch on the SE front. The NE and SE elevations have each two gables. Inside the building, the room on the ground floor of the original NW wing has a moulded ceiling-beam and 16thc oak panelling, probably re-set, with a carved and fluted frieze. In the partition walls of the upper storey are cambered tie-beams with curved braces. <3>
