hearsay:-  
 Built by George Browne, 1620s, on the site of an earlier house. He lived here with his wife Susanah, and the Browne Family remained here for 318 years, many called George. The last George Browne did much of the wood carving in the house, he also dated things!
There are bee boles in the side of the house.
