As part of a village archeology project we have had a buildings survey by a buildings archeologist, We always thought our house was circa 1650 but he has dated it as a three bay Medieval hall house! 1350/1400. He is to return for a more detailed survey with some "dendro". I now see the house gets a mention in Pevsner. It will be interesting when phoning around for insurance quotes, " is it an old house? oh is it post war?" will have to ask which war, (war of the roses?) I usually get "brick and tile?" and when I say "no timber framed" they say "oh that is non standard construction" and I have to point out it was not when it was built
