Lawn Cottage

Lawn Cottage is a house dating from the late 15th century, designed as a 3-cell open-hall structure. It has one storey and attics, featuring a timber-framed and roughcast exterior. The roof is half-hipped, previously thatched but now covered with asbestos slates, and there is a 20th-century raking dormer. A 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick is present, along with early to mid-20th-century casement windows. The entrance has a boarded door, located at what was once a cross-entry position.

Inside, the cottage is a notable example of a 15th-century house. It includes a 2-bay open hall with a steeply cambered arch-braced tie beam and an octagonal crownpost, though the upper part of the crownpost is concealed. The half-hipped ends are supported by queenposts and square-set arch-braced purlins, which may have been added later. The hall features good arch windbraced studding, and the end cells have heavy unchamfered joists, as the service rooms were combined at a later date. A significant 16th-century lintelled open fireplace has been added in the cross-entry. The lower bay of the hall contains roll-moulded first-floor joists, which may have been inserted around 50 years before the ovolo-moulded joists from around 1600 found in the upper bay.
