Description

This building, located immediately northwest of the northwest corner of Church House Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed structure of uncertain former purpose, currently used as a shippon and store. It may have been a wing of the former farmhouse, which was dated 1589 and demolished in the mid-19th century. The building features partly handmade brick on a high plinth of watershot sandstone, random rubble with quoins, and some modern brick. It has a tiled roof with stone gable copings that have obelisk finials. The rectangular plan consists of approximately three bays and stands two storeys tall.

The south gable, made of old brick, has a large blocked four-light mullioned window with a hoodmould on each floor, with the surrounds rendered. The west side has three chamfered Tudor-arched doorways; the first two are coupled but of unequal height, while the third has been altered into a window. Above the middle door, there is a square door. The north gable features three linked similar doorways at ground level, with the first covered by tanks, the center blocked by a flight of steps at right angles to the wall, and a door at the top of the steps with a window to its right. The east side wall is mostly modern brick, but the northeast corner has old brick that appears to connect with remnants of similar masonry extending eastward under a lean-to shed. The interior is not of special interest. Historically, the building is said to have been used as a chapel and was owned by the Helme family in the 16th and 17th centuries. The old house dated 1589 was taken down "a few years ago," according to Fishwick.
