Please describe any outstanding or significant flintwork The only flintwork is on the N porch – has bits of brick mixed in It looks odd and we wonder if it is a later addition. The flints are random sizes and shapes. They are faced but the cortex is visible on many of the flints, so they have not been shaped. The flintwork is very crude. |
