Paycocke’s House has lots of stories to tell, from riches to rags and back again. Built in 1509 by Thomas Paycocke, the House has a bold front range and was described by Pevsner as ‘one of the most attractive half-timbered houses in England’. It was saved from neglect by a descendant of Paycocke, who in 1904 began a twenty year restoration project, including the creation of a delightful Arts and Crafts garden.
