Description
Bennet's Ye Olde Guildhall is a pair of houses that were originally built as one in the early 17th century, with a lower 18th-century range on the left. The buildings are two storeys and one storey with attics, constructed from timber framing and roughcast, topped with thatched roofs. Bennet's features a 19th-century eyebrow casement dormer and a 17th-century axial chimney made of narrow red bricks, which has a 19th-century cap with a sawtooth band. The windows at Bennet's include small-pane casements, with three early 19th-century windows that have very small panes, and two early 19th-century boarded entrance doors. Ye Olde Guildhall has mid-20th-century casements and a thatched gabled entrance porch with a boarded door. The higher section of the building has plain framing with lambstongue chamfer-stops and a side purlin roof supported by principal rafters. To the right, there is an additional cell that was added in the mid-20th century, and there is significant reuse of timber from the 15th and 16th centuries.
