Wyndies (EHER 36152)

Early 17th century timber-framed house. It was recorded in 2016, prior to alterations.

2016. Building survey. Wyndies retains the cross-wing of a 15th century timber-framed house that has been altered in the early 17th century with a replacement clasped side purlin roof and extended main range with an offset butt purlin roof. The close studded frame has jetties on both sides and cranked display braces. Contained within is a 17th century firestack with fireplaces on both floors on both sides, of which only one retains its original form. There is also an early 19th century chimney with cast iron fireplace on the first floor. The building has been significantly altered in the 1930s by Master Carpenter Ralph Turner who replaced the windows, doors, partitions and plasterwork throughout. He also built the brick stair tower and kitchen. The workshop was an early 19th century building shown on the 1840 Tithe Award but has been considerably altered by Mr Turner such that little remains and is now derelict and collapsing. The stables was erected close to 1877 and was also used as a workshop, the top floor having large windows for good lighting conditions. The other outbuildings were built by Mr Turner in the 1930s and onwards and are in poor condition and of no historical value. <1>
