Dover House, Northleach

A Grade II listed https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101154890-dover-house-northleach-with-eastington#.WaVYcD596M8 building with an interesting history. It was originally built around 1619, albeit extended and altered in the meantime, and has variously been a wool & cloth store (hardly surprising, given the area's historical wealth is based largely on the wool trade) and then the Lamb Inn and the Sherborne Arms. The existing gable end seen here is a relatively recent appearance, as the portion of the building that used to stand here was dismantled and transported, wholesale, to America by Henry Ford, he of the Ford Motor Company - complete with its 18th Century wall paintings. It now resides resplendent in the Greenfield Exhibition in Dearborn, Michigan http://www.cotswolds.info/places/greenfield.shtml
