THREE PICTURES: Upper Prestwood Farm

Situated in the manor of Prestwood northwest of Ifield, the "unspoilt" main building on Upper Prestwood Farm is early-15th-century. It was built as an open hall house of four bays, into which a smoke bay was fitted later. When chimneys were invented, chimney-stacks and hearths superseded this. The building is timber-framed with a brick ground floor, and a crown post roof survives.
