Description
Langley's Newhouse is a 16th-century timber-framed and plastered house, likely built by John Langley, who was the rector of Hawkedon in 1546. The house has been well restored by Basil Oliver, featuring windows in the traditional style, including mullioned casements with leaded lights. It comprises two storeys and attics, topped with a tiled roof and a tall chimney stack that has four shafts, round shafts with moulded ornamentation, and spur caps. Inside, there are open fireplaces and notable plasterwork with roundels displaying vine leaf patterns and traces of colour. Additionally, there is an original vertical plank panelled screen.
