Carpenters’ marks are visible from this process. Panels were of wattle and daub, some of which survive in their original state. A brick chimney stack with fireplaces for the ground and first floors provides the house with structural support. The house is jettied to the front and side. Features include a dragon post and dragon beam, and bressumer beams with chamfer stop ends. The roof is supported by a queen post truss frame, and would originally have been thatched, though now has clay-peg tiles. It appears that the original timbers for the roof were inadequately dried, causing the purlins to deform, creating a clearly visible bow on the roof. Work about 1750 included installing a brick paver cellar floor, which is extant. The house is associated with smuggling, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. 1820 repairs utilised Baltic timber from Riga. For much of the nineteenth century it was a grocer's shop, for a time selling produce from farms owned by Sir James Duke, whose crest is displayed.Andrew Hemsley Hastings, Mystery of Crest on Old Town House is Solved Hastings, St Leonard’s and Rye Observer 4 August 2023 It was also a registry office for births and deaths, and for a time a post office.
