Full Description
15th century house, now demolished.
RCHME survey of 60 & 61 East Hill. The house 'was probably built in the 15th century with a cross-wing at the west end. In the 16th century a wing was added at the back and in the 17th century a long wing adjoining this addition on the North was built; about the same time two gables were added to the main block and a room built over the cart way further west. The added gables projected in front of the main block on two 17th century shaped brackets and have moulded barge-boards, and there is another bracket of the same date in the cart way. Inside the building the main block has original moulded ceiling-beams and remains of a king-post roof-truss' <1>
