Building record 1043 - Winterbottom Farmhouse

Please read our .

Summary

Grade II listed former gamekeeper's cottage, now farmhouse. Built in 1670 (carved on door head) with late 19th century alterations. Timber framed and brick infilled with slate roof. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to created solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
