Research notes and uncertainties
Historical inn association: Former listed grouping mentions Bowling Green Inn, while NHLE calls subject a house and relates it to Black Horse Inn to south. Do not assign inn use without address-specific evidence.
Late 18th century/early 19th century Documented principal date and expressly identified fabric phases. Principal date spans centuries; rear sash independently 19th century.
