The Dial House

This is a good example of a restored 15th-century timber-framed house located on the south side of Westham High Street. The upper floor features close-studded timber framing with curved braces arranged in pairs and decorative cement infilling below a moulded bressummer. The ground floor has been underbuilt and refaced with cement. The roof is tiled and hipped. Modern casement windows are present, with the exception of one original oriel window on the first floor. This oriel window comprises two tiers of five lights, featuring wooden mullions, a transom, old green glass, and a cove below. The house has two storeys and three windows. A stone panel set into the front of the building displays the date 1662 and the initials H.W.M. This stone was discovered in the mid-19th century by the Reverend Richard King, the Curate of Pevensey, and the then owner of the house, and was later incorporated into the building. The east wall of the house is tile-hung, while the west wall is constructed of red brick with alternating courses of grey headers. To the west of the house, three gate piers made of red brick and flints are topped with lions sejant, each holding a shield.
