| Abstract: | Renovation in 1987 of two cottages at 26 and 27 Cliffe High Street, Lewes, East Sussex, revealed remains of a late 15th-century house, with number 27 an open hall and number 26 floored with a first-floor chamber which may have extended over a culvert. In the 16th century a floor and a ceiling were inserted in the hall, and a ceiling added to the upper room. Several decades later a small, heated, two- storeyed range was built at the rear. In the mid-17th century, possibly in 1673, a second rear range was added, enveloping the 16th-century chimney. The house was divided into two cottages in 1708. In the course of road widening in 1829, the front two-fifths of the 15th-century structure were removed. | |||||||||
