‘The following monuments, unless otherwise described, are of the 17th century and of two storeys; the walls are of rubble and the roofs are thatched or covered with modern materials. Some of the buildings have exposed ceiling-beams and original fireplaces. … (22) Gable Court, 45 yards S.E. of (21), was built probably c. 1600 and has a later addition on the N. and a modern addition on the E. It retains many of its original stone-mullioned windows with labels. On the N. front the two upper windows are set in small gables and above them are defaced arms and the dates 1600 and 1601. Inside the building, the W. room on the ground floor has a moulded ceiling-beam. A room on the first floor has early 18th-century bolection-moulded panelling with a cornice. In the modern part of the house is a reset carved overmantel and two reset moulded beams.’
