Ames House

Ames House is a detached cottage that was modified in the 17th century. It is constructed of local stone rubble and features double Roman clay tiles between coped gables, along with brick chimney stacks at both ends and in the middle. The building has two storeys with an attic and consists of three bays. The windows are made of UPVC, which were installed around 1984, replacing the original sash windows. There is a 20th-century porch located between the second and third bays, and a dormer window in the roof above. A single-storey extension is present on the northwest gable. Inside, the fireplace in the east room has a timber beam with the date 1633 carved into it, and a stop-chamfered beam spans the ceiling. The roof features arched collar trusses.

Ames House was formerly the residence of the Ames family, two members of which emigrated to the USA in the 17th century, became wealthy, and later endowed Bruton Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, which is now a place of pilgrimage for the American branch of the Ames family.
