Description
The Bakery is a house dating from the early 16th century, which was remodeled in the 20th century. It features diaper brickwork with stone quoins and coursed squared limestone rubble, topped with an old plain-tile roof. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high. The entrance front has three windows and breaks forward in two bays to the right, featuring 20th-century casements. The return wall to the left is made of old stonework, while the rest of the house is likely from the 20th century. A part of the structure, possibly the bakehouse, was likely rebuilt after 1521 by Sir John Heron, who was Treasurer to Henry VIII, and/or after 1539 by Sir John Williams, later Baron Williams of Thame. The house is depicted in views from around 1695 by Winstanley and from 1714 by Kip. It was burned down in 1745.
