Pendean Farmhouse from Midhurst, Sussex
This house is timber-framed and was built in the early 17th century. In contrast
to medieval houses, it has no open hall. Instead, a brick chimney heats two of the ground
floor rooms and one of the upper chambers. This revolutionary change in house planning
took place in the mid 16th century. Pendean nevertheless retains some medieval features
such as unglazed windows. The interior of the house is completely
furnished.
The garden of Pendean houses a pigsty where
the Museum pigs will have their litters.
