(SP 78863075) Hill Farm [NAT] (B3).
Hill Farm, house and three barns, 200yds WSW of the church. The HOUSE was built in the 16th century, restored and enlarged in the 19th century. The SE front retains the original closely-spaced timber framing, with brick filling, much restored, and the upper storey projects, except at the NE end which has been rebuilt. At the back the wall is almost entirely covered with roughcast. At the NE end of the house the timber framed upper storey and gable are covered with cement. The roofs are tiled. The central chimney stack has gruoped square shafts, and has been restored. The BARNS, SE of the house, are probably of the 17th century; the timber framed walls are weather-boarded; one wall has a little brick filling, partly in herringbone pattern. Condition - Good (B4).
