Description
Church House is a Grade II* listed timber-framed building that has some medieval origins. The south side is plastered, while the north side features exposed timber-framing with brick nogging. The roof is tiled and has a ridge chimney stack with three diagonal shafts. The building has two storeys, with the upper storey on the north side jettied across the entire front, supported by exposed joists on curved brackets that have moulded capitals and shafts. The east end is the oldest part of the house, constructed using cruck construction. There is an original doorway in the west part, which is blocked, featuring a 4-centred head with carved spandrels. The building has a range of five casement windows with leaded lights. Originally serving as the church house, it was used for parish festivals and holidays. It is noted for its historical significance and topographical value.
