Number 21 is an original Farmhouse from about 1650, but much altered outside.

The front door is only 5'8 high, a sure sign of its great age as people then were shorter then. Inside, doors not hallways connect the rooms and the ceilings have very old beams, one of which has been dated to 1650. The second storey has been added later and the roof would have been thatched. There is a GRADE II Listed wood-enclosed pump at the rear.

The pigsties and barns were incorporated into the adjacent Buttercross Veterinary Practice; the slaughterhouse is now the operating theatre!
