Medieval hall-house in the Carfax

This gable-ended building, currently Courtney Green Estate Agents, is the end of a medieval five-bay hall-house that was known as Heybourne's. This style of building was first recorded in Horsham in 1369 but this example is (probably) closer to the 16th century. The timber-framed bays can clearly be seen if you walk along Piries Alley (the doorway-shaped opening beneath the blind window at the right). The previous tenants were John Gorman, Estate Agents. This information is taken from 'Horsham Houses' by Annabelle Hughes so credit goes to her but any mistakes are almost certainly mine.
