Potters Field

Potters Field is a farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century. Originally a three-bay building, a further bay was added to the north in the 19th century, which likely coincided with a raising of the roof and replacement of windows. Later 20th-century extensions have also been added.

The west front displays exposed timber framing with midrails and diagonal braces to the northern two bays. The brick infill above the tie beam is painted. The upper floor has sliding sash windows, and the ground floor has casement windows. Two 20th-century brick porches provide access. The north elevation is tile-hung, with a 19th-century casement window to the first floor, and a smaller window within the chimney breast to the ground floor. The east front has a projecting weatherboarded bay to the north, with a casement window with leaded lights on the ground floor, and an adjoining 19th-century casement. The south elevation has a single sliding casement window. The roof is slate, with an external brick chimneystack to the north and a ridge brick chimneystack between the third and fourth bays to the south.

Inside, there is an open fireplace with a wooden bressumer on the ground floor, along with exposed beams and plank doors. An 18th or early 19th-century winder staircase is located in the southernmost part of the house. A smaller open fireplace is found on the north wall, flanked by a larder cupboard with L-hinges. The top of the wall frame and jowled posts are visible. A section of the penultimate bay retains old floorboards and timber framing, originally an external wall, with jowled posts and diagonal braces. A 19th-century cast iron fireplace is found within the southern bay. This building has group value in its architectural and historical significance.
