Description
Little St Katherine's is a 15th-century timber-framed building located on Forge Lane in Shorne. The structure features oak framing with close studding, which is infilled with 19th-century roughcast. It has a 19th-century tiled roof and is designed as a Wealden type hall house. The central hall was later divided into two storeys, with north and south bays that jetty out at the front. The north bay's jetty is intact, while the south bay has been underbuilt. Both bays are supported by curved braces on the ground and first floors. The hall has a curved eaves overhang, which is supported by two curved braces and a bracket that springs from the main post of the hall.
In the 1890s, architect Robert Weir Schultz inspected the house for owner George M Arnold, stripping away later additions to create measured drawings of the timber frame. Schultz described it as "a typical specimen of a yeoman's house of the 15th or early 16th centuries."
