Rymans

Rymans is a T-shaped house, originally built around 1410 for William Ryman. The earliest part of the house consists of a three-storey tower and a two-storey south wing, featuring eight windows. The original fabric is constructed of ashlar. The roof is tiled. The windows are square-headed casements, each with two trefoil-headed lights. An obtusely pointed doorway provides entry. An east wing was added in the 16th and 17th centuries, built using bognor stone and Wealden sandstone rubble, with a stepped chimney breast on the north side and a gable at each end. This wing is two storeys high and has two windows. In the early 20th century, Walter Godfrey added a north wing and extensively remodelled the earlier sections of the house.
