[Centred at ST 58901853] CHURCH FARM [T.I.]. (1) CHURCH FARM: The house is of two storeys with attics, and was probably built late in the 14thc. or early in the 15thc. as hall and crosswings. Only the S. cross-wing of the original house remains. The hall was replaced by a short cross-wing probably in the 17thc., and the kitchen wing added about the same time. There is much 17thc. material visible externally, and some fragments of 15thc. work. The interior is mainly 16thc and 17thc. A pigeon house, N. of the building is 17thc. Rectangular in shape, it is partly of cob-walling. (2) Known as CHURCH FARM and scheduled as a building of architectural interest. Description T2 correct. A well preserved stone farm house with no visible modern alterations apart from a slate roof. In the upper floor of the most southern wall is a two light window of ecclesiastical type and on the adjoining East wall is a similar one but of one light. The majority of the windows are mullioned in 17th C style though some of the mullions have been extensively restored. The pigeon house at A is almost entirely of cobb. The nesting boxes are crudely formed but the building is well preserved and now used as a store-shed. Graphical material omitted. (3) Originally a 15th century hall house, with cross wings, but much altered and rebuilt, particularly in the 17th and 19th centuries. Now a farmhouse with associated ancillary buildings which include a dairy, a dovecote and a barn. Listed.
