The fine old timber-framed with plaster house with pierced quatrefoils was built for Richard Forster in 1580. It gets its name from the fact that that Thomas Percy, the bishop of Dromore and author of "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry", was born here in 1728. It is now a tea room with holiday lets above - see http://www.bishoppercyshouse.co.uk for more information. It is EH Grade I listed: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1367867 meaning that it is a building of national (or even international) importance.
