Church Place

Church Place is a building dating from the 16th century, with alterations made around 1900. Originally four almshouses, it is now a two-storey timber-framed structure that was refronted and extended to create a single dwelling in a plain Jacobean style. The symmetrical south front features two windows and a two-storeyed porch. The roof is covered with red tiles, half-hipped at the east end and gabled at the west, with a hipped roof over the porch and a shafted stack. The windows are casements, with two-light windows on the first floor and three below, each consisting of leaded panels with painted arch tops. The porch, which imitates the old porch at Monteagle House in the nearby parish of Yateley, includes an eaves moulding, a drip mould at the first floor level, and a group of three small windows with chamfered openings above a four-centred arched doorway that is also chamfered. There is one small window on each side wall of the ground floor. Inside, the frame is nearly complete, showing signs of mullions and grooves for wattles. There are rear extensions that match the original style.
