| Formerly a house (Although not used as such since the mid C19), now (June 1989) derelict. Partly C16 with C17 and later alterations. Random rubble with gradu- ated Cumbrian slate gable-end roof. Single storey with loft. Plan: now 2 units but possibly originally 3 (the cruck now stands at the extreme west end of the building adjacent to the end wall and - as it appears to be in situ - the like- lihood is that the house extended one bay or more to the west). Exterior: north (roadside), one low entrance with massive cambered lintel, window (now boarded up) with large lintel and C19 frame; tall C19 doorway to right with boarded stable-type doors. Rear elevation, partially collapsed (and exposing south cruck blade); clear masonry joint marking division between the two rooms. 2 windows, one set low under cambered lintel; later doorway to left. Single window to west end wall. Interior: stone dividing wall between the 2 rooms not bonded in to main walls; full cruck, collar, trenches for saddle and spur ties; roof with ridge piece and side purlins. At the east end a large internal stone stack with massive bressumer; this is a good example of the phase in fireplace development that followed (or improved upon) the timber smoke hood. Remains of loft floor supported in part on fireplace bressumer . NOTE: in 1634 this property was known as Church Stile Tenement and stood on the edge of the former open field. | ||
