The Friary

This is a house of medieval origin, with significant alterations and additions dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of coursed stone rubble and has a Belgium tile roof with coped gabled ends. The house follows an H-shaped plan. The north-east wing is likely the oldest part, featuring 17th-century stone mullion windows with cornices. A moulded arch doorway has been moved to this later wing. The south-west wing may incorporate a chamfered four-centred arch doorway with a hood mould, and a 14th-century window head with reticulated tracery, suggesting the reuse of materials from an earlier structure. One chimney stack is built of ashlar and has a moulded cornice, incorporating a sundial. Inside the north-east wing are a chamfered arch corner fireplace and a moulded four-centred arch fireplace. The ceilings feature stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and the staircase has shaped slat balusters. A shoulded arch in the central wing is likely re-used from an earlier date.
