The building dates from the 17th century and still has exposed timbers with some herringbone infilling. The house has changed names a number of times over the years being known as School House and Woodford before changing to its current name. Its most famous resident was Mervyn Peake, author of the Gormenghast trilogy, who lived here in the 1940s and is buried in the neighbouring parish of Burpham.
