Description
The former bakehouse and attached outbuilding, located approximately 10 metres north-west of the Manor House, dates from possibly the 16th century and early 18th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with some timber lintels and ashlar dressings, featuring an old plain-tile roof and brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-plan.
The earlier 7-bay range running north-south has an uncertain function. The east front has two bays to the right that were formerly open-fronted but are now weatherboarded. There is a low entrance to the right of centre with double doors, and a further plank door to the left with two wood-frame unglazed windows above, one of which has four lights with diamond mullions. The roof is hipped to the right. The rear features two tiers of three small 3-light windows, some with heavy oak frames; the upper tier is unglazed. The lower centre window has concave-chamfered wood mullions, which are moulded internally, and old leaded lights that may be re-used.
The 18th-century bakehouse range runs east-west and is two storeys high. Its south front has three windows with leaded 3-light casements, flat stone arches on the ground floor, and a rubble plinth. The irregular north front includes a ground floor entrance and 20th-century steps leading to a first floor entrance.
Inside, the outbuilding roof features six trusses with two rows of clasped purlins; five of these are morticed for curved wind-braces, one of which survives, and all tie-beams are morticed for deep joists. The south end contains a large inserted stack serving the adjoining bakehouse. The bakehouse roof has four heavy trusses with a single row of clasped purlins. The ground floor has two spine beams supported on a central chamfered and moulded Samson-post. There is a large fireplace at the west end with a 19th-century brick segmental arch beneath a massive timber beam, while a second large fireplace at the east end has been mutilated.
