17th Century Brick Inglenook Fireplace.

A Grade II* medieval timber framed property, with some of it, orignally dating back to 1276. When King Edward I, granted the land and Manor House, to Matthew Horne.

During Wat Tyler`s Peasant revolt of 1381. This great historic building. Belonging to William Horne, at the time. Had been broken into, by the rising peasants, with them removing valuble goods.

With it`s own private Chapel. Granted with a license, for divine service. In 1366. By Archbishop Simon Langham.  https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/hornes-place-chapel/

This delicate. 17th century brick inglenook fireplace. It needed to be carefully restored. Because, of the wear and tear over time, also being used for it`s purpose. So first of all, I carefully cut out the old worn pointing. Then I repaired and replaced the brickwork. Then I could finally repoint the brickwork, using traditional lime pointing, supplied from Chalkdown Lime Ltd. Bringing it back to it`s former glory. As I carried out the restoration work, we found, and uncovered the original Bread oven. Carried out in. Appledore. Kent.  In 2014.
