Bourchiers (NAT). (1)
Bourchiers House. 17th century with later alterations. Grade II. <2>
Bourchiers farm, house, nearly 3/4 mile east of the church. It was built in the 17th century, and has been subsequently lengthened and almost entirely altered. Preserved in it are some tiles from the church; they are of various sizes and patterns, including (1) and (2) a leopard, rampant; (3) an animal, rampant, reversed; (4) part of a cross; (5) and (6) heads of hounds, and several tiles with small geometrical incised patterns. There are also other fragments, said to have come from the church, including the cresting of an oak screen, and a piece of Purbeck marble, moulded and carved with two quatrefoils and part of a third, probably from a tomb of about 1480. <3>
