The Pinfold

WALSALL MB PINFOLD LANE SP 09 NE 8/86 The Pinfold - II House. Probably early C17, altered mid-C20. Timber-framing, partly replaced by brick, rendered. L-plan. Two storeys with attic, three bays. Facade now has 4-light C20 mullioned windows with stucco hoods. Central bay has timber oriel above door. Clasping pilaster strips cover corner posts. Chimney behind ridge in line with door. Interior: the outer bays on the ground floor contain rooms with chamfered axial beams, the left-hand one with exposed chamfered common joists. Both have C20 brick fireplaces. The right-hand room has a depressed-ogee doorhead in the wall to the left of the fireplace, but lack of pegging suggests that it may not be in its original position. The rear wing has a chamfered ox-tongue stopped main beam. The framing of the rear wall of the front range is visible within a loft over a lean-to addition in the angle between the rear wing and this range. It is of square panels with straight tension braces. The entrance lobby in the middle bay contains a C17 open- well stair with turned balusters and pendant bosses, partly altered. On the first floor the jowled principal posts of the two central tie-beam trusses are visible and the ceiling joists are exposed. In the attic the trusses have raking struts, and some straight wind-braces are exposed.
