Camois Court has two parallel ranges aligned roughly N-S with various additions and alterations to the west elevations. It has tiled roofs and is tile hung above brick. The eastern range dates from 1885. The earlier western range consisted of five bays with chimney stacks at the north and south ends and a lean-to along the western side. Although the earlier part of the house is constructed in recognisable bays, the lack of jowels, the relationship between the posts and the eaves, and the minimal evidence for wall-framing, as well as the style of roof construction, all point towards a date within the range 1660-1720. The original access bay containing the stair (ground to attic) was central and the house would have been entered from the east. The attic rooms were always habitable but the cellar could have been excavated later, involving the raising of the floors. These notes have been compiled from survey reports prepared by Dr. Annabelle Hughes. The full reports have been deposited in the Sussex Archaeological Society Library, Barbican House, Lewes, where they can be consulted by researchers. |
