Listed Building record MDO43254 - The Pitchmarket, 3 Abbey Street, Cerne Abbas
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A timber-framed house jettied at the first floor. Built in the early sixteenth century with an 18th-century addition to the rear. One of a row of former abbey tenements, now private houses. The building has walls of knapped flint and dressed stone walls, to cill level. Box- framed timbering (woodwork exposed), with plasterwork covering wattle-and-daub and a stone slate roof. Examination of some of the interior features suggests an even earlier date of construction.
