pesketts - patchings
Pesketts - now renamed Patchings, stands in Nep Town Road, on the right just past Tipnoak. It's a Grade II Listed Building described as follows:
L-shaped C17 or earlier timber-framed building with the timbering and painted brick or herring-bone brick nogging exposed in the east and west walls but south front refaced with red brick and grey headers and partly tile-hung. Half-hipped gable. Horsham slab roof. Casement windows. Blocked original window in east wall. Two storeys. Four windows.
The 1841 census gives the occupant as 45-year old carpenter William Monnery and family, together with agricultural labourer George Virgae and family. In 1901, the main occupant of Pesketts was 57-year old farm carter George Knight and his family. The census is unclear, but it seems that the house was also occupied by 59-year Henry Granger, an engine driver, and 76-year old Richard Reeves, a retired wheelwright.
Neither of the views described below and shown in the photographs can be seen today, for Patchings (Pesketts) is surrounded by a high wall.
