Although this house dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, it includes remains of the 13th century "chantry house" (the house of a Chantry Priest attached to the nearby parish church), which is why I am including it in the shared description of the church, and why the buildings are grade II listed (list entry 1174615). According to the church guide leaflet, it was used as the village school until the 19th century.
