The Key House
Image: © Trevor Rickard Taken: 23 Jan 2011
Situated on the west side of the High Street. This timber-framed house was built by Thomas Roby in 1636. The two-storey porch at the front (inscribed 1595) was moved from Hall Farm on the other side of the road when it was demolished. Hung in the eaves of the building are actual keys accompanied by inscriptions of initials and dates to indicate various owners and when they carried out improvements - starting at the front above the porch with "TR 1636" and the latest being "FWM 1953 + 2006" around the side.
