Full description
High House has a stone let into the wall above the door - 'Allen, Wm C, 1753' - O. G. S. Crawford (note by R. R. Clarke NCM).
This seems to be correct although the stone is now almost too weathered to read. It is in fact in the parapet of a two storeyed three bay house of red brick, dormers behind the parapet, typical of the period. Central classical doorcase. ?Older, low wing to east.
