NRHE data transfer: Wood's Farm (NAT). <1> Wood's Farm, house, is of two storeys with attics. It was built late in the 16th century on a T-shaped plan, with the cross-wing the south end. In the 17th century a wing was added on the south of the cross-wing, and there are small modern additions on the north of the same wing. The upper storey projects at the end of the north wing and at the west end of the cross-wing, and has original foliated bressummers and carved brackets. The original north chimney-stack has grouped diagonal shafts. Inside the building, one fireplace has original moulded jambs and four-centred arch of brick. The room in the cross-wing has moulded wall-plates. There is one door of nail-studded battens, possibly original. <2> Farm and 'moat' has gone (see EHER 1257). <4> in <3>
