Description
Bletchley Rectory Cottages and Museum consists of a hall dating back to 1475 and a pair of cottages from 1618, which were moved to their current site in that same year. The buildings are arranged in an L-plan and feature half-timbering, with the hall located to the north-west of the cottages. They have been restored, showcasing brick and plaster infill with weatherboarding on the hall. The roofs have a steep pitch and are covered with old tiles, while the chimneys are from the 18th century. The windows are two-light leaded wood casements, and the doorways have been renewed. Inside, the hall boasts a well-preserved hammerbeam roof with three bays.
A historic note mentions that the date of the hall has been updated from 1447 to 1475-76 based on a dendrochronological survey of the timbers, as recorded by Allan T Adams, Peter Jarvis, and Edward Legg in 1988.
