Abstract:		 A programme of historic building survey and recording at 15, Main Street was undertaken in advance of proposed redevelopment. The house has a plaque inscribed with the date 1760, but evidence from the internal building survey, including a surviving upper-cruck timber roof truss within the earliest range, indicates that the house is likely to have originated as a timber-framed structure of three bays and one and a half storeys, with a cross-passage plan, probably dating to the second half of the C17th. A two-storey outbuilding to the rear of the house, with an upper floor workshop, appears to have been constructed in the early part of the C18th. The 1760 plaque is likely to signify an episode of major alterations to the building, including the rebuilding of the external walls in brick and the insertion of the present fireplaces and chimney stacks, works which would have drastically altered the appearance of the house. During the C19th, the narrow, service end bay at the northern end of the building was demolished and replaced by a larger, fully two-storied, two-bay extension. An imposing king-post roof truss, formed of imported Baltic softwood and connected with iron bolts and strapwork, indicates a construction date of 1850+ for this range.
