Full Description
WEST BUILDING (96620558), of two storeys with brick walls ornamented with a diaper of knapped flint, and with a tiled roof, originated in the 17th century as a farm house; reduced in size, it has since been made into a pair of cottages. A late 18th-century view of the farm house appears under the name 'Upper Hemsworth' on Isaac Taylor's estate map; it then had a two-storeyed N. wing and a buttressed W. Porch with a round-headed opening. <1>
