South Yeo has origins as a late medieval three room and cross passage house. This is put forward in the listed building entry, but the description is misleading in that the evidence for this is not described, and it only outlines the surviving fabric. This has been carried through in the recent Design and Access and Planning Statement where the origins as a smaller medieval house are suggested. It is clear form the details on the purlins that the house did include three rooms from the outset. The first-floor arrangement can be partially understood. The smoke-blackening and the presence of wind braces indicate that the hall and cross passage were open to the roof and the former was heated by an open fire. The reduction in smoke -blackening over the lower room indicates that this was floored over from an early date. Given the later alterations, it is postulated that the lower room was ceiled from the outset with a narrow first floor room over the eastern bay. Although the roof over the inner room has been removed, it is clear from the truss arrangement and the smoke-blackening of a replacement truss that the inner room was also open to the roof. The original thatch covering was smoke blackened, and some of this survives in situ. (See report for further details) .
