Court House

The Courthouse is a house dating from the 15th or early 16th century, with alterations made in the mid-to-late 16th century. It is timber-framed, now rendered, and has a plain tile roof. The building consists of a two-bay open hall, with a storeyed bay to the right, and a two-bay cross-wing projecting slightly forwards to the left. The main house is two storeys high, while the wing is two storeys with an attic. A painted brick plinth is visible. The wing has a jetty to the first floor, which returns but is underbuilt on a dragon post. The bargeboards are plain. A multiple brick stack is located at the junction of the wing and hall, and a later 16th century stack with a stone base is positioned at the right end. The fenestration is irregular, including four casements; a three-light canted oriel is on the first floor of the wing, with two three-light and one two-light leaded casements on the main range. A panelled door is situated to the right of centre on the main range, sheltered by a flat, bracketed hood.

Internally, the hall shows a close-studded end-of-hall partition with mortices for a spear. A moulded octagonal crown-post is present, albeit in an altered position. A braced partition separates the hall and wing on the first floor. Two later 16th century moulded stone fireplaces, each with a four-centred arched head, are also found within. A section of 17th century panelling is located to the left of the hall stack.
