Full description

Child, P., 1995, Old Frogmire, Sandford (Un-published). SDV354724.

The building is superficially Victorian, but contains a probable late medieval core. Stripping out the interior has revealed the original hall which has a substantial fireplace and a good stud and panel screen. The beams on the lower side of the hall probably probably mark the position of the original cross-passage. Another chamfered beam stands over another screen, now plastered over, in the room beyond. Two truncated jointed cruck trusses survive in the roof.
