Little Church — Farm.

It is probable that before 1480 (approx.) the house was altogether detached from the church, as the old buttress at the west end would seem to indicate.  It probably terminated in a line with the present chimney block, and its stone foundation and its chamfer at the western or parlour end denotes the extent of the original house of Richard, the chaplain (KERRY).

The house was entirely rebuilt in 1480, half timbered and joined on to the church by a new wing (previously it was probably detached).   There is a window hole of 1480 between the bedroom and the gallery.  The west end and the western half of the north front of the old house (the one.destroyed in 1883) is c. 1480, all the rest is 1651 (KERRY).

The original (1651) house was demolished c.1880 – it had been the Blue Bell Inn until 1827. The bar-room was the vestry (WARD).  TRUEMAN and MARSTON has it as a pub in 1817.  LYSONS records ‘communication with a public house’.

The doorway was blocked up by 1873.

The building used to be thatched (Maud and Harvey’s reminiscences).
