| Description | A lobby-entry house with large central chimney at the north end of Hay-on-Wye, probably built just outside the town wall. Regarded as the oldest house in Hay, tree-ring dating has established the complexity of the building chronology. The earliest phase is represented by a single, smoke-blackened cruck-truss with lapped collar and (removed) tiebeam, which was sampled but did not date. The mid-/later sixteenth-century post-and-panel partition divides the outer bay but relates to the fireplace and probably dates the insertion of the chimney. In a third phase of rebuilding/reconstruction the upper parlour was modernised with, at the entry, a shaped doorhead with ogee detail; a rear dog-leg stair with splat balusters was constructed, and much of the first-floor framing was renewed giving a twin-gabled front elevation. Noted in "Houses of Breconshire II", Brycheiniog X (1964): 154, pl. XVIIIA. NPRN 16259. |
