Leavers' Court

Leavers' Court is a house that originated around 1500. It is constructed from local lias stone, which is cut and squared for the undercroft, with rendering on a timber frame above. The roof is covered with clay double Roman tiles and features simple gables, along with brick end chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and two bays. The upper floor has two light small pane casements, while the ground floor has 19th-century infill, possibly where a former jetty was located. The first bay includes a double garage door beneath a shaped timber lintel, followed by a late 20th-century panelled door under a rectangular fanlight, and then 16-pane sash windows. There are traces of what appears to be a four-bay timber frame at the first-floor level. Historical records indicate that from at least 1672, this building was known as the Nag's Head Inn. It was divided into two houses in the 19th century and refronted. The remains of a moulded bressumer from the late 15th or early 16th century can still be seen. The side wall of the yard entry is constructed from stud and panel, and the yard is flagged with stone sett, with a lane behind it. There is also a late extension to the rear.
