Description
The Plough public house. 2 bays in the middle of this building have early 17th century ceiling beams to the ground floor. In the southern bay the stops
on the bearer are stepped ogees with notch, whose closest analogues are at Bowers Farm (built c. 1615), and Lawyers Cottage. The proportions of the building indicate a 1 1/2 storey house and do not suggest rebuilding, but no timbers are visible upstairs to confirm this. The two units are each 14' 6" (4.46 x 4.3 m). There was a gable-end stack and apparently only one hearth. The house could have been rebuilt in 1609 or more plausibly in 1619 or a little later. [Further details] (B1).
