In C19 it was refaced and extended to north-east by probably five bays to form a large outbuilding. Two levels. Main north-west elevation: there are two ground floor windows (one with a cambered brick head), four roof lights and six doors (one is a stable door, two have cambered brick heads). A single- bay, two-level wing projects from the second bay from the south-west end which has a loft door in its gable end. Also a lean-to outshut adjoins the south-west bay. Interior: the three pairs of full cruck trusses are largely intact and there is also a re-used moulded and embattled C15 beam. C17 wall- framing is visible at south-west end. Part of the inserted rubble chimney survives. The building has been recently re-roofed, (July 1986). (RCHM, III, p 76,' item 10; BoE, p 190, Alcock, NW: CBA Cruck Catalogue, 1981).
