Notes

  • brick recess in stone wall of building (now part of house); base projects slightly; at back, 4 protruding bricks may have been part of original base; possible (small) bee bole: the farm used experimental methods and was establishing orchards c.1800; a flue in the back of the wall may have been to warm the back of the recess
