HISTORY

At least five medieval houses still survive in part, probably the earliest Old Farmhouse, East Street, which has true crucks similar to those in Bridge Farm, Baltonsborough, which date from the mid 14th century. (fn. 50) Significant alterations and additions were made to several houses in the later 16th and the earlier 17th centuries including upper floors in Higher Southtown Farm, remodelling at Pennard Farm (datestone 1640), and a new wing at Manor Farmhouse, Coxbridge. The Cottage, Higher Southtown, is a timber framed building of the early 17th century. At least four surviving houses date from the mid or late 17th century including Sticklinch Manor and the Apple Tree inn. (fn. 51) The house of a yeoman at Newtown in 1678 comprised porch, hall, parlour, two butteries, and kitchen on the ground floor and five chambers over including a cheese chamber. (fn. 52) There was significant rebuilding of farm houses in the early 19th century.
