Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Hole Farm [NAT]. <1>
On Chapman and Andre map, 1777, as Hole. <2> <3>
Hole Farmhouse. Early 17th century timber-framed and plastered house with the remains of a moat. There is also an early 17th century central chimneystack. (RCHM 7). Grade II. <4>
Hole Farm, house and moat, 1 1/2 miles WNW of the church. The house is of two storeys with attics, timber-framed and covered with lath and plaster, and the roofs are tiled. It was built probably early in the 17th century on a rectangular plan, and has a modern addition on the north-east side.
On the south front, in the plaster, is a rough indented floreated design and a raised wreath enclosing the date 1695, evidently the date of some of the plaster-work. Under the modern plaster, near the east end are traces of a more elaborate design. <5>
