Description
Howerdley Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that features two storeys and a three-cell lobby-entrance layout. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped at the south end and gabled on the north. There is an external stack on the south gable wall. The windows are mainly 19th-century three-light casements, with some 20th-century additions. The entrance door is located within a 20th-century enclosed porch that is gabled and thatched. At the rear, there is a 19th-century one-and-a-half storey lean-to made of brick and flint.
Historically, this farmhouse was divided into three cottages and is associated with a charity established under the will of William Howardly, a former parish priest who died in 1492. He bequeathed 40 marks and the remainder of his estate to be used for land, with the profits intended for the repair of the parish church and the support of the parish poor.
