Mason's house with recycled tracery
This house at the corner of Great Lane was once the home of a stonemason, who incorporated fragments removed from churches in the course of restoration, chiefly of the Perpendicular period. There is also an Early English lancet window of ironstone just under the eaves. Pevsner, writing in 1960, commented on the good condition of the stonework at the time of its transplantation.

Stonemason's workshop, Greetham
This was Halliday’s and Bland's workshop, built around 1850. A remarkable building with its fragments of medieval masonry built in, recovered during the rebuilding of a local churches. The principal fragments are certainly not from the church in the village which never had any Perpendicular style features.
Listed Grade II. Even the normally dry listing record refers to its 'unique character'.
