Home Farmhouse (EHER 29798)

16th century timber-framed house, altered in the 19th century.

NRHE data transfer: Home Farm [NAT]. <1> Home Farm, house, now two tenements, 800 yards WSW of the church, was built in the second half of the 16th century on an L-shaped plan, with the wings extending towards the north and west. It was much altered late in the 17th century, when a block was added between the wings, and this addition has a modern extension on the west side. On the east front are two gables. The late 17th century central chimney-stack has pilasters on two sides and at one angle, and the west chimney-stack, of late 17th or early 18th century date, is of cross-shaped plan. Inside the building, on the ground floor of the north wing, is a moulded wall-post, apparently re-used. On the first floor, in the east wall of the north wing, are visible five small original windows now blocked. In the same wing are the shaped wall-posts of a former heavy roof-truss. <2> Home Farmhouse. House, now divided into 3 or 4 tenements, 16th century, altered in the 19th century.
