GV II

Hall house, now public house and garage. C14; remodelled in early C17, with mid C18 and C20 alterations. Cruck-framed. Coursed limestone rubble, roughcast front of garage on right; gabled stone slate roof, with corrugated iron to rear right; rear lateral stack and left end stack of stone finished in brick; C19 brick front lateral stack. Medieval open hall with solar to left and service to right: remodelled as 4-unit plan in C17. One storey and attic; 4-window range. C19 bracketed hood over 6-panelled door. Concrete lintels over C20 casements: concrete lintel over medieval service doorway to right, which has a plain chamfer with broach stop to one stone ashlar door jamb and late C20 board door. Timber lintel over C20 garage doors in bay to right. Early C20 gabled half-dormers. Mid C18 wing to rear of one storey and attic; 2-window range of limestone rubble with gabled stone slate roof. Interior: originally a 4-bay hall-house with a raised-cruck roof, the 2 central trusses being heavily smoke- blackened. The central truss has an arch-braced collar with windbraces: the other trusses were identical, but only the right-hand truss retains a collar and arch braces. Some windbraces survive; through-purlins replaced and turned around in C17; reset smoke-blackened rafters in central bays; morticed beam of original screens partition survives to right of service doorway, which has arched chamfered lintel above. Floor and stacks inserted in early C17, probably at solar end (to left) first. Chamfered beam with rolled and run-out stop to left; chamfered beam, and chamfered bressummer over open fireplace with ingle- nook seats to centre. Winder stairs to rear, and C17 trap door to attic. History: probably the "aula" mentioned in the Eynsham Abbey cartulary of 1366. Divided into 2 dwellings in 1750's and was licensed as the "Haunch of Venison" from 1785. The manorial courts met here in the C19. The garage bay and doorway to its left are now part of No 33. (Information from the VCH).
