attics. 5-window range of early C20 casements, 2 C20 casements in flat-roofed

hipped at both ends. The rear stack has grouped diagonal shafts with truncated

unglazed windows in the rear wall at both ends, now within the right extension.
The crosswing has original hearths with depressed brick arches at both levels.
Face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates. This house is unusually
datable to c.1575, re-roofed in a continuous run in the late C17. In the attic
is an unusual wooden pen approx. 2 x 3.50 metres, with open slats to the
ceiling, with door and stock-lock, all made with handmade nails and hardwood,
probably C19. Its purpose is uncertain, but it may relate to cock-fighting.
