| Keywords: outdoor building architecture window Silk Hay to the left of the picture and Fernwood set back. "On the corner is C15 Silk Hay which together with Fernwood, 23 & 25 High St. were once all one house, set back following the Medieval street line. This was a Hall House probably built by a prosperous merchant, there are vestiges of an earlier Norman house. The front wing of Silk Hay with its half-hipped roof, which juts forward, is Tudor and was later a Victorian shop and it shows how the street line had begun to narrow by then. Internally are many original and interesting structures, including a verified crude sketch of a Crusader Knight. Fernwood is the only surviving part of the Medieval house that was not extended forwards into the street so its external walls marking the ancient street line are still visible." www.stalbridge.info/uploads/3/1/5/8/31586035/stalbridge_h...
