Tudor House pre 1911
The Old Tudor Mansion c1915

"Old Tudor Mansion" once stood where The Paddocks is now on School Hill. It was expanded over the smaller real Tudor house shown in the first photo just after 1911. A new wing with a great hall 40ft by 10ft and a minstrel's gallery were added and the old house was given a 'Tudor' makeover. It was taken apart around 1918 to be shipped to the USA, but was actually rebuilt as Beke Hall at Billingshurst in Sussex where it has since sadly burnt down.
