Full description

A mounting block at the north west corner of the house incorporates a datestone of 1586 at its base. This appears genuine and is much weathered whereas the rest of the mounting block is of unweathered stone. It seems possible that the datestone was originally on some part of the house and subsequently reused when the mounting block was constructed. Other details: ST20SE6.
