Description

May 1986. Grade II listed. An early 18th century house, converted to range of three cottages, since reverted back to one house. The property was divided into two tenements in the late 18th century, extended by a third tenement in the early 19th century, and re-combined in the 20th century. The building is timber framed with later brick infill, plastered and weatherboarded, and plastered brick. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. It comprises three bays facing SE with a central chimney stack, originally forming a lobby-entrance, now blocked. There is an early 19th century extension to the left and a 20th century lean-to extension along the full length of the rear. In the original house there are two wood-burning hearths back to back and in the left extension is a small coal-burning hearth without a grate on each floor. The court rolls of Le How manor show that this plot was enclosed from the lord's waste in 1701, the original house was built by 1704, it was divided into two tenements before 1779, and extended to three tenements between 1813 and 1821. <1> See photo <2>.
