Interpretation
The fair-drawn ground plan from the 1974 survey, phased late seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century at 1:100, with beam details A–C. It carries a second date, 12 December 1988, and the typed line "House demolished Nov. 1988". That month differs from the 6 December 1988 given in NA/GL/88/49; the difference is listed as an open question.
