Listed Building record MDO14789 - Bridge House, High Street, Yetminster
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A house thought to have been built around the middle of the seventeenth century, and which may have started life as an open hall house. The building has walls of rubble stone and a thatched roof with brick chimney stacks. Surviving features of the interior are reported to include fire places, one with a bread oven, and chamfered ceiling beams. In the roof re-used smoke-blackened timbers suggest that the building may have been created through reconstruction of an earlier house.
