History of the House
 The house frame was assembled from Savernake Oak in 1316 and built as a large Hall House in the middle of the Forest with probably three large Base Cruck beams - one of which has survived almost complete. Most of the roof frame and one Aisle truss and heavy wind braces are all still in situ.

Special carbon dating was carried out by English Heritage, and an archaeological paper was written on the house when Arabic Carpenters assembly marks were discovered.
