Housham Tye

History

• 'The Manor', at the west, a timber framed and plastered two storey house dating to the 17th century;
• 'Tadgells', at the east, a four-bay timber framed and plastered two storey hall house with four dormer windows, dating to the 15th century. A house on the site was recorded in 1327, and was named after a John Tagel. To the south of the house is the remains of a 36m x 30m rectangular moat, scheduled as an ancient monument. A raised platform within the moated area could indicate the position of the pre 15th-century house.

• 'Rose Cottage', converted from two cottages, and timber framed, plastered and tile-roofed, dating to the early 19th century;
