Cromwell Lodge

Cromwell Lodge is a house located in Stonor, dating from the late medieval period, with a right cross wing that has a rear bay from the late 16th or early 17th century. The building is primarily clad in 17th and 18th century brick, except for the right wing, which features rectangular timber framing, a tension-braced first-floor front gable, and an arch-braced first-floor right side wall with exposed ends of joists. It has an old tile roof and brick stacks. The layout follows a T-plan typical of a hall house with a right solar wing. The house is one storey with an attic, while the right wing is two storeys, and the left range consists of three bays. The front has a 20th-century door and late 19th or early 20th century two-light casements. The roof is gabled, with a late 16th century ridge stack and an external stack at the rear right gable end. There is a timber-framed outshut on the right side wall and a two-light leaded casement with diamond panes at the rear.

Inside, the left range features two smoke-blackened full crucks, through-splayed scarf joints to the through purlins and wall plates, and a truss on the right with chamfered arch braces. The hall was remodeled in the late 16th or early 17th century, which included the insertion of a brick stack against the passage and a floor, a chamfered ogee-stopped beam, and an open fireplace with a swing-bar for pots. In the right wing, there is a chamfered doorway to the front room with flat laid joists, a shoulder-headed doorway leading to the winder stairs, and curved windbraces in the obscured roof, along with the original rear wall showing tension-bracing over arch-bracing. A chamfered beam is present in the 17th century rear bay, and there are 17th or early 18th century plank and ribbed doors, as well as an old brick floor.
