Description
Bellhouse is an 18th-century timber-framed building located 12 metres south-west of the Parish Church of All Saints on Wrabness Church Road. It has no cladding and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The building has a square plan and features a door on the east side. It is a single storey with a pyramidal roof. The frame is made entirely of hardwood, including some re-used timber, and is constructed with jointed and pegged joints, featuring primary straight bracing. Inside, there is one internal tiebeam aligned north-south with a king-post. The structure was largely obscured by ivy during a re-survey in August 1985.
Bellhouse contains a bell-frame for one bell, also aligned north-south, made of hardwood. This frame is jointed and pegged, except for the diagonal straight braces, which are lap-jointed and nailed, resting on red brick footings. The bell itself was made by J. Warner and Sons of Crescent Foundry, London, in 1864. The building is depicted in the tithe map of 1842.
