Datestone RB 1708 and IB 1719, (Bligh family) flanking the jambs of the door. Circa C15 east window of 3-lights with cusped heads; the mullions appear to have been altered because holes for the horizontal saddle bars do not align.

A floor has been partly inserted at the west end and the roof has been replaced in the late C19 or early C20.
