Tinkers Cross

Tinkers Cross is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with handmade red clay tiles. The main range has two bays facing southwest and features an axial stack in the right bay. To the right, there is a two-bay crosswing with a 19th-century internal stack at the rear. There are single-storey lean-to extensions on the left side of the main range and at the rear of the crosswing, along with a two-storey extension added to the right rear corner of the crosswing in the 20th century.

The house stands two storeys high, with two 20th-century casements and two small fixed lights on each floor. A 20th-century door is located in its original position in the right bay of the main range. The crosswing features an underbuilt jetty and a half-hip at the front. The ends of the collar-purlin are visible externally at both the front and back of the crosswing. Notable architectural details include jowled posts, close studding with curved tension braces set into the interior, stop-chamfered beams, plain joists with a horizontal section, grooves for sliding shutters, and a restored unglazed window in the right upper wall of the crosswing. The house underwent substantial restoration around 1939, using re-used timber. Inside, there is a large wood-burning hearth facing to the left, with a cross-entry to the rear. Both parts of the house feature crownpost roofs with axial braces.
