Description
NRHE data transfer:
The Leys [NAT]. <1>
The Leys, house, nearly 1 mile WSW of the church, is of two storeys with attics; the walls are timber-framed, partly plastered and partly weather-boarded; the roofs are tiled. It was built probably in the first half of the 17th century, and has a small staircase wing on the west side. The north end is possibly a later extension of the original building. The east and south walls and part of the east wall have been re-faced with modern brick. Inside the building, some rooms have chamfered ceiling-beams, and at the top of the staircase is a small piece of original panelling. Condition - Good. <2>
