History Of The Black Swan The Black Swan Peasholme
Green Step through the solid oak front door, itself a little masterpiece of bygone craftsmanship, and you will be visiting a distinguished medieval timber framed house, which retains a classical 17th century interior. And what an interior! The large stairway, in original creaking oak, leads off the main passageway. Another room has a roasting pit. A smaller room has a giant open fireplace. The
17th century craftsmanship didn’t worry too much about the horizontal and
vertical lines and as such the slanted door cases, steps, beams and windows simply
add to the distinctive character. The
Black Swan was originally built in 1417 as a family residence. The gable ends
were added in the 16th Century. However the main structural alterations were secured
in the 17th century. Family
