The Tannery

The Tannery is a 17th-century farmhouse and barn, with 19th-century alterations forming part of the house. Dated 1682, it has a lobby entry plan and three storeys, originally comprising three bays. The right-hand bay was converted into a barn in the 19th century. The entrance is positioned to the right of the center, featuring a chamfered surround and a decorated basket-arched lintel displaying the date 1682 and initials HIAW above a three-panel door. A three-light chamfered mullioned window is situated to the left, while two single-light windows are present on both upper storeys. The left-hand bay projects slightly, exhibiting a single-light window per storey, along with external steps leading to a 20th-century entrance on the third floor. The right-hand bay showcases a 19th-century two-light flat-faced mullioned window. Gable ends and the junction of the house and former barn are marked by ridge stacks. A projecting central wing at the rear likely served as a stair turret.

Inside, a chamfered inglenook fireplace is present, later narrowed to create a doorway to the left.

The property operated as a tannery around 1792. The garden contains the remains of approximately 1.2-meter square and 1.2-meter deep slate-lined tanning pits.
