Palmers Cross Cottages

Palmers Cross Cottages is a house that has been divided into two properties, with three main building periods: late 14th century, mid 16th century, and between 1625 and 1650. It is a timber-framed structure with a rubblestone plinth, whitewashed brick infilling, and a plaintiled roof that is hipped to the left and features a gablet to the right, along with a red brick corbelled chimneystack positioned to the right of center. The building has an L-shaped plan.

The oldest section is a two-bay crosswing at the angle of the L, which was originally part of an open hall that has since been demolished, replaced by a 17th-century wing. This crosswing includes passing braces, with one surviving on the left side and another on the right side, and has two 20th-century casements. Attached to the south is a separately framed bay from the mid-16th century, featuring a curved brace and one casement. To the east is an early 17th-century addition with an exposed frame, diagonal windbraces, and painted brick infill. The front elevation has two early 19th-century casements and two gabled doorcases, while the side elevation has two early 19th-century casements with leaded lights.

Inside No. 1, there is an early 17th-century open fireplace with a moulded bressumer and run-out stops, along with end seats. The first floor features a 17th-century three-plank door. The roof has coupled rafters that appear to be smoke-blackened. The 16th-century addition includes jowled posts, and the tie has a queen strut leading up to a collar, with a clasped purlin roof. No. 2, located in the 17th-century part of the building, has an open fireplace with a wooden bressumer, a queen post roof with three queen struts, a clasped purlin roof without wind braces, and a 17th-century three-plank door with large hinges.
