Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 30 Jan 2024
This interesting building stands across the road from the parish church and has origins in the late 16th century, but with many alterations and additions through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The projecting wing to the left is of 1780, whilst the main building with its pantile roof was once thatched. Tradition has it that King Charles I stayed here on two occasions, in 1640 and 1647. The building is Grade II listed.
