The Fieldings

The Fieldings is a house built in two stages, around 1600 and around 1750, as indicated by a plaster oval above the entrance. It has one storey and attics and features a timber-framed and plastered structure, with some 18th-century plasterwork in panels at the rear. The roofs are covered with pantiles and Roman pantiles, although they were once thatched.

The main range has a central 19th-century red brick chimney, while there is an external gable chimney of mid-18th-century red brick with burnt headers to the left. The house includes gabled dormers with 19th-century small-pane casements, as well as 19th and 20th-century small-pane casements. Some 18th-century casements with leaded lights can be found in the cross-wing.

The entrance features a four-panelled door from the late 18th or early 19th century, complete with a moulded architrave. The cross-wing dates from the late 16th or early 17th century and has unmoulded framing, showing evidence of diamond-mullioned windows and a side-purlin roof. It likely started as a small three-cell house, which later had its axial chimney removed. The 18th-century main range exhibits jointed framing with reused oak members combined with pine beams and primary-braced studwork.
