Type and Period
Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Ricketts Farmhouse is a timber framed and plastered house built around 1600 but very much altered (RCHM 22). It is Grade II listed. <1>
The house is nearly 3/4 of a mile north-north-west of the church and was built probably around 1600, but large additions were made in the later 17th century on the south-east side, and the plan is now irregular. Near the north-west angle is an original chimney-stack with two octagonal shafts. Another chimney-stack has diagonal pilasters. <2>
