EASTINGTON CHURCHEND Nos 6 and 7

GV II

Formerly one house, now divided into two. Possibly C15. Square panel timber-framing with diagonal bracing and brick infill, with rendered rear wing to No 6. Slate roof to No 6, concrete tiles to No 7; small brick ridge flue to stone stack to No 7, thin lateral brick stack to No 6. L-shape range with No 6 projecting backwards, possibly originally a hall house with inserted stone stack, hall and three-storey parlour end to No 7 and service cross wing in No 6. Now two storeys and attic. No 6 has three small lights on first floor, two larger on ground floor cutting across the square framing and C20 door to right. No seven has three small lights, and one three-light diagonally-set wood mullion to left and one four-light similar to right, both between sheets of glass on outside and inside. C20 door and fenestration to ground floor.

Interior of No 7 has arched wind bracing in roof and encrusted soot (painted over) on roof timbers, some remaining wattle and daub walling to internal timber-framed partition wall with one original plank door to attic in this wall. Very large apparently inserted stone stack and large flat chamfered and stopped beams to both floors. Probably some re-used timber; mill owners' house and adjacent former mill said to have been ruinous c1389, possibly this is the house rebuilt in C15. (VCH, Gloucestershire, Vol X, 1972)
