Tudor Chimneys

Tudor Chimneys is a house dating from the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 17th centuries, and restored around 1970. The building has 1½ storeys and attics, featuring a timber-framed and rendered structure. The south gable end was rebuilt in red brick in the late 17th century, with tumbled-in courses at the gable. The roof is covered with concrete pantiles and includes 20th-century plain-tiled gabled casement dormers, along with gable chimneys made of red brick. The windows and entrance door are also from the 20th century. Originally a late 15th-century open hall house, it likely comprised three cells; the hall is 1½ bays long and formerly had a crown-post roof. The open truss is arch-braced, with only the moulded base of the octagonal crown post remaining. A first floor was inserted later, featuring a roll-moulded and crenellated beam built-in for a new chimney from the early 16th century. The service end was rebuilt, and an east wing with a clasped-purlin roof was added in the 17th century.
