The Olde House, Road, Rearsby
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 28 Apr 2015
Built as a yeoman's manor house and dated 1610 and 1613. Timber framed structure with brick infill panels, largely in herringbone style. The roof is formed from graduated Swithland slates. The house was substantially restored in 1935 after being purchased by Sir Frank Craven. The restoration included the replacement of wattle and daub infill of the framing with the present brickwork; the bricks themselves are not of standard dimensions and could well be older reused bricks. Listed Grade II.
