Research notes and uncertainties
Related B01 record: Black Horse Inn is described as houses, now inn and of one build with No.72. This supports inn use of the Black Horse listing, not automatic transfer of inn use to the separately listed No.72 audited inB01.
Late 18th century/early 19th century Documented principal date and expressly identified fabric phases. Same-build relationship No.72 supports consistency, not additional proof.
