Description

1. 5272 GREAT CHART THE STREET (north-west side) Timber-framed building in the south-west corner of the churchyard of Church of St Mary (formerly listed as Small Building in south-west corner of Church-yard) TQ 9741 24/1A 14.2.67. II* 2. C16 or earlier timber-framed building of one storey and 2 windows with plaster infilling, widely overhanging eaves on brackets with sprockets above and a hipped tiled roof. Two small red brick additions to the west. This building seems too small to have been the pre-Reformation priest-house and too old to have been intended for watching the churchyard. Its origin and purpose are uncertain, Sir Charles Igglesden, in his "Saunters through Kent with a Pen and Pencil", suggests that it was the pest-house, but its position makes this improbable.
