b(1). Strawberry Bank, house, 590 yards S.W. of the church, is of two storeys with attics; the walls are of rubble and the roofs are slate-covered. It was built probably late in the 16th or early in the 17th century on an L-shaped plan. An addition was made in the angle between the wings, probably early in the 18th century. The E. front has a three-storeyed porch and the 17th-century front door is nail-studded and panelled. Inside the building are some moulded ceiling-beams and some early 18th-century panelling. In the N. room, over the fireplace, is an elaborate 17th-century plaster panel (Plate 51) with a repeating design of vine-scrolls and a band of running foliage above and below it; it is fitted to the segmental head of a larger fireplace-opening. The kitchen has an early 18th-century stone fireplace with a corbelled head.
Condition—Fairly good.
