Description

{1} Archaeological Building Recording at The Last Straw, Great Brington, a Grade II Listed thatched cottage, gutted by fire in December 2010. A supposed cruck blade recorded in 1977 is purported to indicate a probable medieval date, and a blocked doorway may indicate an early cross-passage design. A west wing was added prior to 1748. In the late 19th century the building was divided into three cottages. Major alterations in the 1990s returned the building to a single dwelling. The recent fire has denuded the historical fabric considerably.
