Description

Range of 17th century timber-framed cottages, refaced in gault brick in the 19th century. A later timber-framed and plastered block, probably of the 18th century, was added at the rear. It is two storeys, with a four window range of double-hung sashes with single vertical glazing bars, in plain reveals. The roofs are tiled. The interior has exposed timber-framing. At the east end, in the roof, there is an area of plaster with a late 17th century painting of the Lord's prayer. At one time there was the date of 1686 or 1688, but this no longer remains. <1> See: <2>
