LODGE FARM cottage, of two storeys with rubble walls and with a tiled and stone-slated roof, may be of late mediaeval origin although it has been suggested that the walls originated as those of a barn, and that two 15th-century windows with traceried heads were brought from elsewhere. perhaps in the 17th century. Inside, a ground-floor room has stop-chamfered beams resting on stone corbels, and a first-floor room has a beam with hollow-chamfered and triple ovolo mmouldings. Two 15th-century stone windows in the upper storey, blocked externally, have each two trefoil-headed lights with quatrefoil spandrel lights in vertical tracery under two-centred heads. A doorway has a timber frame with a four-centred head. The roof has an arch-braced collar truss rising from ogee-moulded and hollow-chamfered wall-plates with run-out stops; the purlins have curved wind-braces. (2)
