The old Corner shop has a coat of parging which may cover up the original timberframe. It was the simplest way to fix an ancient exterior. But I'm intrigued by the building hidden behind and just opposite in the Google streetview. It is standing on piers that would not have been saved if they were not original. A Moot Hall maybe?Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-21861327331849220582012-06-11T19:15:03.544+01:002012-06-11T19:15:03.544+01:00Yes, it's changed, but you can still see the b...Yes, it's changed, but you can still see the bones of the old buildings.
