Appraisal
The different footprint of this building on the early OS maps indicates that it may have been rebuilt or partly demolished. The front of the building is enlivened by a bowed projection, which appears to have been placed centrally on the 1908 OS map. Although it has been significantly altered, this building retains much original form and fabric and forms part of a group with the nearby Saint Laeban's Church.
