Description
A small brick-and-flint two-bedroom dwelling was first constructed on this site around 1600, with a further extension in 1690 which had inner walls of wattle and daub. The roof originally had dormer windows to provide accommodation for workers on the third floor of the house. On the third floor there is also an enclosed space, perhaps a priest hole, which can only be accessed via the roof space of the 1600 building. This is of interest since afer the dissolution of the monasteries this area was a strong supporter of the Catholic faith (B1).
