Vis=16/1/1996 (child + pearce) although cleave house has been altered in the c20, its present form largely reflects 17c rebuilding when it was given a two-room and cross-passage plan with gable end stacks. The roof has 3 massive trusses. On ground floor are 17c cross beams but part of an older house also survives at this level, evidenced by a cross beam ceiling in the lower room which butts against a jetty projecting over the lower cross passage screen. The upper screen is missing. Interpreted as originally a medieval construction with open rooms on either side of the cross passage with an upper floor jetted out into both of them. The cross beam ceiling was inserted into this presumably in the c16. The house was then radically rebuilt in the c17 (child).

The name pomeroy's hill is probably associated with robert de pomeray, who is documented in 1330 (mawer et al).
