2020: Substantial work was done on Tickners East in 1627, which is the date on the bressamer, including the insertion of a brick stack with back-to-back inglenooks. However, structural evidence dates the construction of the original building to between 1510 and 1550. Smoke stains and evidence of shutters were also found by an architectural historian, whose report is in the possession of the current owner of Tickners East.
