But it may well have been designed by the same men as LeGrys Farm, according to [1] in Vernacular Architecture Group Conference report (copy in file). They see it as dating to around 1580-1630 with a cross passage plan which was transformed to a lobby entrance; most elaborate chamferstops in the hall which is here more of a cooking space; sliding shutters and hollow mullions.

1997, 15 September. House visited by E. Rose (NLA) to assess planning application.
Vernacular Architecture Group report concurred with in basics, but some additional features noted; some internal partitions have been moved at a later date, and it may well be the case that the 'hall' was not used for cooking at all; a detached kitchen may be missing.
