Description

RCHME survey of 60 North Hill. The 'House has an early 17th century back wing. The front block was rebuilt about the middle of the 18th century but incorporates an earlier staircase. Inside the building the early 18th century staircase is of the dog-legged type with square panelled newels, turned balusters and moulded strings. There is also some moulded panelling probably of the same date. The back wing has original ceiling beams resting on an octagonal post with a moulded capping. There are several old battened doors.' <1>
