BARRINGTON WEST GREEN (North west side) No. 36

GV II

House. Mid-late C16. Renovated and extended at rear. Timber frame roughcast rendered and tiled. Rendered ridge stack of two flues. Single range four bay plan including an entry and chimney bay. Two storeys and attic. Three modern leaded light windows to each storey. Doorway opposite the stack. Inside: Some framing is exposed. Ground floor room at east end has original floor frame of joists laid flat. An original parlour wall between this and a cross passage at the rear of the stack, has now been removed. The hall has an original ceiling with intersecting main beams, stop chamfered and in the north wall evidence for a four-light shuttered window opening with diamond mullions. There was a doorway between the hall and arch at the west end. The original lintel is still in situ. In the hall the inglenook fireplace is off-centre and the chamfer of this main beam has been obscured by the chimney. This chimney stack may be an enlargement of an original stack or an insertion into a building which was formerly unheated. Such a building may have had a special purpose. At first floor there are arch braces surviving in one tie beam and evidence in others. The ceilings at first floor have been inserted, although probably in C17 and the roof is possibly of a similar period and therefore a rebuild. It is of clasped side purlin type.

R.C.H.M. West Cambs. Mon. (35).
