Full Description
House, now in use as a hotel. The walls are harled but, from the windows and other arch details, it can be assumed that the U-plan part of the building is 17th century in date while the west part is 18th century. A modern, probably 19th century, wing has been added to the north side. There is doubt as to whether the house incorporates remains from the 13th century preceptory of the Knights Templar or whether materials from it were used in its construction. The house was rebuilt/repaired after a severe fire in the early 18th century.
Period Notes
