Cradlers, Leatherhead: a 14th century timber-framed house

JOHN BLAIR

The house known in the late Middle Ages as Cradlers stands on the north side of Leatherhead High Street (nos 33-35), on one of a series of burgage-like crofts which bear the marks of medieval planning.' Its descent as a copyhold of Thorncroft manor call be traced from 1527, and it was presumably one of the unidentifiable villein tenements in the town which appear in Thorncroft court rolls from the 1270s onwards. In 1975 a historical and architectural account appeared in the Proceedings of the Leatherhead and District Local History Society. Stripping of the frame during refurbishment in 1985-6 has, however, revealed several new features, notably passing-braces in the walls and a trait-de Jupiter scarf-joint which together suggest a date in the 13th or 14th century. The unusual plan-form of the building can also be better understood. In view of its importance, full re-publication seems justified. This account is, however, confined to the original timber-frame, as the 17th and 18th century work (mostly now destroyed) is fully described in the 1975 paper.
