‘(5) NORTH FARM (89470215), house, 1 m. W.S.W. of the church, is two-storied, with brick walls, partly rendered, and tiled roofs with stone-slate verges. The plan is L-shaped. The principal range, facing W., is of the late 18th or early 19th century; it has a Group (i) plan (see above, p. 18) and a symmetrical W. front with a central doorway flanked by segmental-headed windows, and three corresponding openings on the first floor. Extending E. from the S. part of the rear wall is a wing that probably dates from the 17th century; its entrance was formerly on the N. side. Farm buildings and a pair of cottages of the late 18th and early 19th centuries stand to the N. of the house.’
