MORETON CHURCH ROAD TL 50 NW 4/41 (south side) Kitchen, now garage approx. lOm N.W. of Hancocks GV II Detached kitchen, now garage. C16. Render over timber frame; gabled old tile roof. One storey; 3 bays. Two sets of C20 double doors. Interior: 3 bays of good quality timber framing with internal wall bracing; jowled posts, braced to tie beams, to clasped purlin roof with curved wind braces. Floored end bay; two bays, originally open to roof, have substantial soot-blackening and steeply-raking braces to central tie beam. Substantial remains of diamond- mullioned windows and original entrance door; replacement moulded window in south gable. Patterning of soot position and of openings are suggestive of some form of fire hood, off-centre in one bay. A remarkably complete example of a "medieval type" detached kitchen, associated with a late medieval hall house (Hancocks).
