Temple House

Temple House is a house dating to the 17th century, significantly altered in the early 19th century, and renovated and extended in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed with rendered infill and has a low-pitched slate roof with a grey brick ridge stack. It is planned with a lobby entry and faces the road. The house is two storeys high, and its windows are largely 20th century, including an oriel window with leaded lights. A brick porch with a flat roof sits to the side of the main doorway. Inside, there are abutting hearths, including an inglenook. The parlour features raised and fielded panelling from the mid to late 18th century below the dado rail, along with a corner cupboard from the same period. An additional hearth was added to the end bay, likely in the early 18th century. The house was the childhood home of Dr. W.M. Palmer, an antiquarian.
