Summary
A 16th century barn, now a restaurant. Its origins lie with a Post Reformation house built by Sir Henry Jerningham, who purchased St Olave's Priory (NHER 10715) following the Dissolution of the monasteries, and the south wall of the barn may form part of the east end of his house. The barn contains brick reused from the Priory, but is otherwise of flint and stone.There have been many alterations and extensions over the years, and a number of blocked openings are evident.
