The Stow [NAT]. <1>
The Stow. Late 16th century timber-framed and plastered house with a cross-wing at the south end (RCHM 11). Grade II. <2>
The house is of two storeys with attics, and was built in the second half of the 16th century. The plan is irregular and has gabled wings of slight projection on the east and west sides. The two chimney-stacks are original, but the shafts have been rebuilt. Inside the building, in a room on the first floor, are moulded beams and joists, and a large wall-plate. All the roof-timbers are original, and there is a truss with a square king-post set diagonally, and two curved braces supporting the central purlin. <3>
