Harps Farm [NAT]. <1>
Harps, farmhouse near Bedlar's Green, 1,400 yards north-east of the church, was built in the 15th century. The original plan probably consisted of a central hall with cross-wings at the north and south ends, but the whole building has been extensively altered; the north-west and south wings are modern.
Inside the building the roofs of the north cross-wing and of the former hall each retain an original truss with king-post having moulded capital and base and four-way struts. <2>
Harps Farmhouse. A 15th century hall and crosswing with 17th century and later additions and alterations. Grade II. <3>
