Full Description
Church House, with walls of carstone rubble and a modern tiled roof, includes part of a 15th century house which formed a rectangle 38 ft by 19 ft. Part of the N wall remains, with a two-stage buttress towards the W. A doorway with moulded four-centred head has been moved from this wall and rebuilt in a modern wall to the N. There are two original windows, now blocked, cut out of a single stone. The W wall is mostly original but refaced and the S wall retains an original buttress. There are various Medieval worked stones lying loose and a 12th century capital and a 15th century moulded corbel are reset in the walls. <2>
