Yeomans

This is a house dating from the late 16th and 17th centuries, with restoration work carried out in the 20th century. It is located on Ashley Green Lane. Originally believed to have been an open hall house, it now has an L-shaped layout. The structure incorporates regular coursed and squared, banded ironstone and limestone, and is topped with a thatched roof. The main front has a three-window range. Two windows on the right are 3-light casements with wooden lintels, and an eyebrow dormer is set above the first floor. A cross wing projects to the right and likely dates to the 17th century, featuring a 2-light stone mullion window on the first floor. The return wall has a 2-light window with a moulded stone surround. A 20th-century porch, situated at the intersection of the wings, contains a small single-light window with a stone surround on its right side. Ashlar gable parapets and brick stacks (including one with older bricks) are present at the ridge. The left side of the main front has a single 2-light stone mullion window. The rear elevation is similar in appearance, also featuring eyebrow dormers. The interior was not inspected, but it is believed to contain a cross passage and to feature cruck roof construction, as noted in research relating to cruck construction (Alcock, N.W., Cruck Construction, Research Report No.42, Council for British Archaeology, p.133).
