Willow Meade

Willow Meade, formerly known as Lyntons, is a house dating to the late medieval period. It was remodelled and an outshut was added to the right during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The walls are rendered over timber framing, and the roof is hipped and thatched, with a 20th-century brick ridge stack and a left end stack. Originally a house of open hall plan with entry to the left and flanked by cross wings, chimneystacks and first floors were inserted in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The building is one storey and attic, with a four-window range. There is a 20th-century gabled porch and door to the left of the centre, along with flat rendered arches over 20th-century casement windows. A gabled dormer sits in the centre. A 20th-century door and similar casements are found at the rear. The interior reveals exposed timber framing, including curved tension braces and a late medieval window with two diamond mullions in a first-floor room on the right. The room below contains an open fireplace with a chamfered bressummer and a 17th-century outshut to the right. The hall range has a common-rafter roof with plain joists tenoned to chamfered beams. The wing to the left, formerly gabled and now hipped to the front, contains late medieval studded screens and a partition. Beneath an inserted late 16th/early 17th century floor frame is a stop-chamfered beam and joists.
