FOUR PICTURES: Turks Croft, Ifield

One of several isolated houses in the Crawley area by the 15th century, this timber-framed cottage was extended in the next two centuries, and has five bays: three are original, and one was an open hall. It was converted into a smoke bay in the 16th century, when two bays were added; a chimney came later. The exterior exhibits timber framing, brickwork and tile-hanging.
