Lower Church Farmhouse

Lower Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse with medieval origins, mostly rebuilt in the 17th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Doulting stone dressings, and features a clay double Roman tile roof between coped gables, along with brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays. The windows are ovolo-moulded with four lights under labels below, and three and two lights without labels above. The central boarded door is set in a flat-headed chamfered opening with a square label. On the east gable, there is a small square plaque with a hood mould, although any inscription is now lost. Below this, there are three-light horizontal bar casements in segmental arched openings. There is a hipped extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to contain a stud-and-panel cross-passage partition, chamfered stepped beams, a flat timber arched fireplace with chamfered and ogee steps, a framed ceiling of nine panels, and three surviving smoke-blackened trusses with cambered collars and chamfered purlins.
