Research notes and uncertainties
Photo material overstatement: LH032 shows a painted pedimented doorcase; its caption cannot establish stone. NHLE explicitly identifies a wood pediment. Keep painted-surround material unverified beyond that source-specific component.
Historical blocked tier: NHLE blocked tier over door differs from visible glazed windows in LH032. Historical condition retained; no current blockage claimed.
Later 18th century Documented principal date and expressly identified fabric phases. Current photographed arrangement does not prove historical blocked tier still blocked.
Surface cabling or services face-mounted wires and alarm. Photograph crops wider listed frontage; 059 unavailable, not independent evidence. The discrepancy needs identity/extent reconciliation before current blocked-opening tag. No method, cause, severity or continuing condition is inferred.
Blocked opening Historical NHLE observation, no unqualified present blockage; visible photo differs. Historical fabric/alteration evidence remains searchable with source scope; no current condition diagnosis.
