The Knowle has a long eastern elevation framed above brickwork with an evident raised eaves level and a tiled roof. No original roof timbers survive but the constructional feel of the building suggests a date in the second half of the 17th century. The initials RK and the date 1676 appear on the bressumer above the larger of the two hearths. Robert Keale was recorded as the owner of the property in 1687 and it is is very likely that he built much of the present house. It is possible that there was a remnant of an earlier build at the northern end which Keale extended to the south. In 1840 the Knowle was in use as two cottages. These notes have been compiled from survey reports prepared by Dr Annabelle Hughes. |
