CLUN C.P. LITTLE HOSPITAL Nos. 1-3 (consec.)

GV II

House, now divided into 3. Probably early C16, remodelled in the mid- to-late C19, and North end further remodelled in the mid-to-late C20. Timber framed, refaced or rebuilt and eaves raised, rendered, probably over coursed limestone rubble; slate roof. Former hall-house consisting of 2 framed-bay former open hall to South, and one framed-bay lower-end to North. 2 storeys and one storey and attic with basement. Two C20 gabled semi-dormers to North-east with 2-light casements, integral brick end- stack to North, semi-integral brick end-stack to South, and C20 lateral stack to West. East front: 2 first floor 3-light metal casements to left, 2 ground floor 3-light metal casements to left flanking 4-panelled door, and two C20 two-light casements to right flanking C20 six-panelled door. Entrance to No.3 at-rear. Interior: one full cruck truss survives between first and second bays from North, further cruck trusses might also survive; square-panelled timber framed former screen passage wall between first and second bays from North with blocked segmental-headed former service doorway into lower end; late C16 or Cl7 inserted floor with chamfered beams in 2 bays to South. Although altered and despite its unpromising exterior, enough remains of the original plan and of the cruck roof-structure to merit the inclusion of this building on this List.
