Church House

Church House is a building from the mid to late 16th century, with a late 20th-century extension. It features a timber frame with plastered and painted brick infilling in the panels, topped with a clay plain tile roof that has gabled ends. The structure consists of three remaining bays, truncated at the northeast end. The southwest bay was originally separated from the other two, and the first floor is jet-tied on three sides, open to the roof, while the narrow northeast bay was also originally partitioned off.

The exterior is two storeys high, with a jet-tied southeast front, southwest end, and northwest rear supported by rounded joist ends and curved brackets on the posts, with dragon-posts at the south and west corners. On the ground floor, there are two small early 19th-century two-light metal casement windows and a plank door to the left. The first floor has a hatch to the right of centre with a plank door and two late 20th-century casements above. There is a brick single-storey lean-to on the left end with a late 20th-century stair turret rising through it. The rear features three late 20th-century casement windows, and on the first floor, to the left of centre, there are remains of an oriel window with a shallow cill on a jowled stud. The northeast gable end has a brick ground floor and a late 20th-century casement window on the first floor to the left.

Inside, the ground floor consists of one room with a framed ceiling that has chamfered beams and unchamfered joists, supported by jowled storey-posts. The southwest bay includes dragon-beams and redundant mortices indicating a missing partition. The first floor has an open tie-beam and queen-strut trusses with two tiers of tenoned purlins, where the lower purlins feature straight wind-braces, all of which are stop-chamfered except for the wind-braces. An intermediate collar-and-tie-beam truss at the northeast end has redundant mortices for a partition.
