Court House

The Court House, originally a gazebo, is a small house dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of random rubble limestone with a roughcast finish and features a stone slate roof. The building is two stories high. On the east side, there is a parapet gabled cross wing to the left, which includes a two-light recessed cavetto mullioned casement with a hood mould and an oval window in the gable. This design is mirrored on the west side. To the right, there was formerly an open loggia supported by a single central Tuscan column, with roughcast render above the timber framing. The upper floor has three-light casements with ovolo moulding. Access to the upper floor is through an external doorway in the north gable end, which is set into a terraced garden. The south end features a full central parapet gable with a three-light casement and an oval window above. The interior has been altered during its conversion to a small house, with the loggia being glazed in, and includes a timber spiral stair. It is said to have been the meeting place of the Court Leet.
