Description
Rebellion House is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century. It is constructed of random rubble with walls that are 4 feet thick and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and three irregular bays. The entrance features a 20th-century panelled door set within a 17th-century Tudor-arched surround that includes a hoodmould. To the left of the door is a small two-light double-chamfered window with a hoodmould, and to the right is a similar 20th-century window. Above the entrance, there is a small 20th-century window. The roof is gabled with renewed end stacks.
On the left return, there is an original first-floor doorway that has been converted into a window, and next to it is a gun loop with an internal splay. The south side, facing the garden, features two 20th-century mullioned windows and a ventilation slit. On the first floor, there are three small windows in old openings with original wooden lintels.
Inside, the ground floor boasts a large 17th-century fireplace with a finely moulded surround, supported by moulded corbels. The ceiling has old beams. On the first floor, there is a huge 16th-century fireplace with an old wooden lintel resting on very large, rough, rounded corbels, and a relieving arch above it. To the left of the fireplace is the old wooden lintel from the former first-floor doorway and the splayed gun loop. The upper cruck roof has two bays, collar beams, saddles, and double ridge pieces.
Rebellion House was likely originally a 16th-century bastle house, with the ground floor accommodation extended in the early to mid-17th century. The house has a traditional association with Oliver Cromwell, who is said to have stayed here.
