Tewes

Tewes is a fine example of a late 15th-century moated manor house, featuring the remains of the moat. It was restored and extended in the early 1920s. The house is timber-framed and plastered, showcasing many 16th and 17th-century features. A small 17th-century wing extends to the north-west at the rear, along with some modern additions. The building has two storeys, with the upper storey jettied on the south-east front, supported by exposed joists and curved brackets, and retains some original moulded posts and capitals.

There are three windows on the front; the original windows were likely oriels with high-level side windows, but these were replaced in the 18th century by tripartite double-hung sashes with glazing bars, while modern casements are found at the north-east end. The original high-level side windows with moulded mullions are still present. A two-storey modern gabled porch projects from the front, along with a two-storey bay on the south-west end, both designed to match the style of the house. The roof is tiled and features an original central chimney stack with grouped diagonal shafts on a square base, which previously displayed the date 1537. There is also an original chimney stack with grouped diagonal shafts at the north-east end.

Inside, the house includes fine curved and moulded beams and joists, with the south-west room showcasing 16th and 17th-century panelling and a carved wall plate. An original doorway with curved spandrels is also present.
