Research notes and uncertainties
Concealed construction: Timber frame in NHLE describes window surround. Wall structure unverified, not proven timber-framed or proven free of framing.
Late 18th century/early 19th century, possibly earlier origins Documented principal date and expressly identified fabric phases. Possibly earlier origins have no stated century and must not generate a positive earlier period.
