The address, grade and description shall be amended to read:

SK 87 NE SAXILBY-WITH-INGLEBY HIGH STREET The Old Hall No 76 3/54 II* (star)

House. Late C15 and C17 with C18 and C20 alterations and additions. Timber frame, mostly C20 externally, with rendered panels, steeply pitched- pantiled roof with 2 brick gable stacks. 2 storey, 3 bay front with C20 pent porch covering central door, flanked by single C20 windows. To first floor are 2 further C20 windows. Only parts of the original wallplate are visible. Interior has exposed complete 2 and a half bays, of a former 4 bay hall, with the timber frame and roof structure completely intact, plus a rear aisle which is possibly a later addition. The rafters of the eastern bay and a half are smoke blackened and this section has obviously been a 2 storey late medieval hall, with an inserted floor. Some stud partitions retain their wattle and daub infill. Most of the exterior was brick clad in the eighteenth century. The building contains an unusual post which has been described as a cruck but would be more accurately described as an unusual curved post.

II

House. C16 with C20 alterations and addition. Timber frame, mostly C20 externally, with rendered panels, steeply pitched pantiled roof with 2 brick gable stacks. 2 storey, 3 bay front with C20 pent porch covering central door, flanked by single C20 windows. To first floor are 2 further C20 windows. Only parts of the original wallplate are visible. Internally, elements of the C16 3 bay plan are visible, with a wattle and daub panel in the former hall being the major survival. In one corner of the modern kitchen is a bay post which also appears on the first floor: this beam has been claimed as a cruck but it is so irregular that it is impossible to be certain. Also to first floor, 3 arched braces of the hall bays are visible.
