Vis=10/1/1962 (os) the house is again one dwelling tastefully modernised and retaining its original character. Of particular interest are the doorway and four light wood mullioned tudor leaded windows in the north east side of the house, and an earlier window protected by a modern window in the south west side (os).

Alcock, N. W. + Laithwaite, M., Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV288516.

New front door. Whole house was originally single-storeyed (3 room plan) with the third room and inner room probably completely partitioned off. A jettied room was then inserted over the cross passage, and projected into the hall. Stud-and-panel screens are present. The inner room was converted into a parlour circa the early 16th century (alcock + laithwaite).

P.7, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV57041.

Priesthill. Rev. E. S. Chalk in his 'kentisbeare and blackborough' describes priesthill as an interesting old house just outside the nw corner of the church- yard, "as one of the least spoilt medieval church-houses in england" (p.7). On p.35 he quotes from a terrier of 26th july 1681 "vicaridge house called priesthill, 5 lower rooms and 4 chambers divided into 5 poor dwellings". He makes no distinction between a priest's house and a church-house - two very different buildings serving very different purposes. Priesthill is the priest's house, not the church-house which was on the right hand of the present north gate to the churchyard. Recently restored actual church-house very dilapidated when pulled down. Open hall in which an early wooden window with cusped heads to the lights has been skillfully preserved. Old priest's house or church house probably late 15th century.

Pantin, W. A., Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV57044.

A hall house of cob and rubble, with timber-framed internal partitions. Thatched. A lateral chimney to the hall, and a chimney stack at each end.

A kitchen with second chamber above to the north, and a small chamber over the screens passage (pantin).
