Appraisal
The façade and design of this house has been simply executed and many original features remain. When considered in context, this site is likely to have been associated with the late-medieval churchyard to the west as it overlooks this area and the same herringbone walling is to be found at both sites. Though Church Park is not likely to be the original structure associated with this site, it does however represent the continuous occupation of this historic and possibly archaeologically significant area.
