| Summary: | The Old School House, Bow. A two-storey building of cob, brick and thatch. It has an L-shaped plan, and a further part to the west was demolished in 19C. The east-west range contains the earliest fabric: a smoke-blackened roof with at least one jointed cruck. The roof has subsequently been heightened. The whole structure is in the late medieval vernacular, and may be dated to 16C-17C. The owner has 'historical references' to a school found in Bow in late 17C, and a tradition of a deep cellar to the school clock tower. No cellar now visible. |
