Historic building recording carried out by Oxford Archaeology in May 2013 during refurbishment works by the National Trust confirmed the general phasing of the building suggested by the 1993 vernacular building survey, with number 29 built in the mid 17th century, although it seems to have been two storeys rather than a single storey building, and refronted in brick in the mid 18th century. Number 30 was built in the late 17th or early 18th century and raised in height in the late 18th or very early 19th century. Both buildings had rear outshuts constructed in the 20th century, though possibly at different dates. See report for detail (B2).
