Latimer'S House

Latimer's House is a house dating from the 15th or 16th century, constructed of red brick and timber framing, topped with a thatch roof and featuring four brick ridge stacks. The building has a higher cross wing with a stone plinth to the left and a gable facing, consisting of one and a half to two storeys, primarily with leaded light casements. To the right, there is a range of red brick that refaces the original cruck framed structure.

The central porch, added in the 20th century, is open and has an oak gabled design, with a three-light casement window to the left, a two-light casement to the right, and a two-light horizontal sliding sash above. The left wing is two storeys high, with one bay featuring three panels across the front and two bays with six panels on the side. On the right return front, there is a three-light casement on both floors. The front gable includes a three-light casement on the first floor and a one-light window in the attic. The roof structure features clasped principal rafters and a coped brick gable.

On the left side, there is a three-light casement, a small 20th-century bay window, and a door with two two-light casements above. The rear of the house displays timber framing in the lower range and cross wing, along with an eyebrow dormer and various doors and casements. Extending from the right end of the front is a stable wing dating from around 1800, which has a Swithland slate roof and a ridge stack, along with a garage door, two stable doors, and a three-light casement window.

Historically, this house is possibly the home and birthplace of Bishop Hugh Latimer, who was martyred at Oxford in 1555.
