Cruck End

Cruck End is a late medieval house located on the west side of The Street in Wilsford. It features a timber frame with brick infilling and a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic and consists of two bays. It has two pairs of crucks, with one pair exposed in the gable, showing a full height uniform curve and ties that support the wall plates, along with a collar above. The crucks are founded on large sarsens, although the one in the north-west corner has been replaced. The house has timber casement windows. Inside, the space has largely been opened up, but there is a large stack in the east bay with a timber lintel, and a kitchen located in an annex at the rear of the stack. The roof shows signs of being smoke blackened. This building is illustrated in Brown's "The English Country Cottage," published in 1979, on pages 94 and 98.
