Grade II* Listed Late 15th, early 16th century timber-framed house originally standing at right angles to the road. The single storey wing with dormers being added later. The 1870 survey of the village shows the Old Forge as occupied by 29 year old Sherman Raynham a bricklayer (who became a key resident of the village and parish clerk for a number of years) with his wife and child and 65 year old Daniel Claydon a blacksmith and his wife who 'lived beside his smithy, replacement for an earlier forge which stood across the road in Shop Meadow'.
