The Porch House Potterne Wiltshire


The Porch House in the main street of Potterne is one of the best-known smaller domestic buildings in Wiltshire. It is an early-16th-century timber-framed house on an ashlar plinth and consists of a central hall two-storied gabled wings and a two-storied porch opening into the hall passage. In the upper room of the north wing there is a small round hole of uncertain purpose through one of the upright timbers.)A window in this room looks into the hall. The bay window of the hall is glazed with pieces of stained glass doubtless the fruit of some collector's zeal. Late in the 17th century a large central chimney of oak and wattle was added partly blocking up the hall.
