Brick Kiln

This building is a brick kiln, originally a farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century with alterations made in the early 17th century. It has a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and stands two storeys tall. The structure is timber-framed and rough-cast rendered, topped with a pantiled roof that features a 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly 19th-century small-pane casements, and there is a four-panelled glazed entrance door. The hall and parlour block were built together in the mid to late 16th century and feature a good clasped-purlin roof that was originally hipped. Evidence from the doorway indicates that there was originally a third service cell, which was demolished and rebuilt lower in the 17th century. A chimney was inserted to serve the hall and parlour during the 17th century, and the roof over the service end was rebuilt higher in the 18th or 19th century.
