RCHME CROSS-REFERENCE 1
Leominster Out, monument (17), p. 130.
a (17). Stagbatch, house and outbuildings, 500 yards S.W. of (16). The House (Plate 22) is of irregular plan with wings extending towards the N., S.E. and W. The N. wing dates from the 14th century and the S.E. wing is a late 16th-century addition. The main W. wing is of uncertain date but was much altered and heightened in the 17th century and has a modern S. front. The original N. wing has square framing, the N. bay being a 17th-century addition; the early part is of two bays with a passage at the N. end; it retains portions of an original crutch-truss with remains of foiling, but the collar and tie-beams have been cut away. The S.E. wing has close-set framing to the upper storey which projects on two sides on curved brackets; the gable also projects on shaped brackets.
The Outbuilding, N. of the house, includes a mediæval barn (Plate 37) of four bays with crutch-trusses, from which the tie-beams have been removed. N.W. of the house is another outbuilding, probably once a 17th-century cottage. Other buildings show structural remains of the same date.
