The Fleece Inn was built in 1610 as a farmhouse, with a hall-and-cross-wings, hearth-passage plan. The service rooms and kitchen wing are at the rear. The house has a long frontage, with four gables of different designs. The first-floor windows under the entrance gable have six-lights with round tops. This view is of the south front, seen from Jepson Lane. At one time there was a bowling green in the grounds, to the right of the lawn in the photo.
