Fieldhouse

The Fieldhouse is a farmhouse with a complex history, originating in the medieval period and with additions and alterations in the 16th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of various materials, including stone, timber framing, and brick nogging, with stone slate or tile roofs. It has a complex T-plan, featuring an early wing facing the lane, a central 16th-century section linked by a re-faced portion from 1856, and a lofty, two-gabled timber-framed wing with extensions at the back.

The lane front presents as a long, low, three-unit structure with a two-story, two-windowed appearance. Rendered sections are present alongside stone elements. It features a 2-light casement window on the first floor, a 5-light mullioned window on the ground floor, an old plank door within a heavy frame, and a half-timbered gabled unit with close studding above and a box effect below, with 2- and 3-light casements. A later section extends to the right, featuring stone, timber framing, and brick nogging with a Broseley tile roof.

The north elevation includes the gable of the lane wing, followed by stone re-facing from 1856 with small 2-light casements in two storeys. To the right is a two-gabled, close-studded timber-framed unit, three stories high, with 2-windowed elevation and 3-light casements with diagonal leading.

The south elevation features two-gabled timber framing, a new stack to the left, and a ground-floor lean-to. The central unit is of rubble construction with concrete tile and includes 4-light stone mullioned windows with a label, ground floor fixed light to the stair, and two small vertical casements. A projecting 19th-century gable is also present.

Inside, the central part of the lane wing exhibits cruck construction. A post-and-muntin screen from the 16th century divides the ground and first floors in the central unit. A heavy moulded beam carries chamfered and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, in the ground floor room on the south-east corner. A new staircase is present, along with remains of a newel stair adjacent to a substantial stack in the back wing. A stone panel records 19th-century rebuilding on the south front, dated 1856 (attributed to Hooper).
