Black plaque № 41028

The Ancient House was restored in 1934. The building at that time was very deformed and the 1934 repairs retained the building in its settled position. The 2001 restoration re-established the integrity of the timber frame and as such realigned many of the timers. The wall at ground level along Orford Road was built in 1934 to look as if it was deformed Tudor brickwork. This 1934 architectural conceit, which was executed superbly by the bricklayer, has been retained as part of the history of the house.
