Bannut Tree House
II 2.
Very little remains of the priest's house of the adjoining Chapel of Base
(NY (qv under Bannut Tree Chapel). Mostly late C17 and early C18 with extension
to south-west and internal alteration of mid-Cl9. VCH regards north-east
end as possibly dating to the C16, but the evidence of the roof structure
suggests that this end goes with the adjacent C17 or early C18 part.
Two storeys and attics. Rubble built with stone tile roof. Projecting
gable to right (the hipped C16 end) with small 2 light leaded casement
in attic, large C19 window on first floor and mullion window with drip
!. on ground floor (rebated chamfer mouldings). One window extension to
left with cast-iron trellis porch to door. Centre part has gable with
a 2 light window on second floor, two 2 light and a central 3 light window
on first floor and on ground floor two 2 light windows, all with stone
mllions and rebated chamfer mouldings, some with drips, ground floor
with continuous drip. Door to right.

*2.
Traditionally, at least from C18, a Chapel of Ease to Avening. Mediaeval,
possibly C14, altered and converted (stable in late C18, dwelling in
later C19).
One and a half storeys, rubble with Cotswold stone roof. West gable end
has arched doorway and early C14 cusped piscina-window. Small window
in gable. South side has cusped window head to left and a 2 light window
with cusped ogee heads and flat lintel in chamfered surround under cornice.
dormer over. Lean-to to north. One and half storey modern extension
7 to south with gabled dormer over door and one window. The C14 tracery
is said to have come from Horsley church.
Interior: the central truss is very substantial and has slightly curving
bases onto the tie (ie only just an upper cruck). There is an aumbry
at the south-east end with a carved Jacobean-style oak door. The fireplace
3 is wooden with carved animals in relief (possibly early C16, clearly intended
for another purpose). Some imported C15 and later stained glass especially
in window heads. Shell and tile ornamental window jambs in south-west
corner.
