Lings Cottage (EHER 37576)

14th century and later timber-framed house.

14th century and later, two storey, timber-framed and plastered house, with a peg tile roof. It is hipped at the east end with a single storey lean-to, and hipped with gablet at west end, with ridge line red brick stack. The west elevation is clad in black weatherboarding. The windows are a mixture of 19th century timber casements with glazing bars and old cast iron casements. The interior reveals part of the ground floor and first floor of a 14th century timber-framed building with angled dragon beam and central tenoned floor joists which was jettied to the west and to the road. The rest of the structure is a 17th century rebuilding with jowled posts and straight bracing. <1> See: <2>
