Thorne. Farmhouse late c14/early c15 with late c16 and c17 improvements, altered circa 1860 and modernized circa 1970. Mostly plastered cob on rubble footings but c19 work is rubble with brick dressings, partly plastered and partly exposed; stone rubble and cob stacks topped with c19 and c20 brick; thatch roof and reused interlocking tile on outshots. L-shaped building. Unusally wide main block facing north now has an unconventional 3 room and cross passage plan with a parlour at the right end, on lower side of present passage. Two storeys. Good interior of house with long and complex structural history. The roof and outer walls of the main block are late c14/early c15. Four bays survive. Brick-lined oven to kitchen. Thorne is attractive from the outside but its appearance gives no hint of the age of the building. It includes a rare and complete medieval domestic roof. See doe list for full details (doe).
