Protecting the Scheduled Historic Buildings and Monuments of Pembridge. A Registered Charity No 1060265

Pembridge the Village - Pembridge has clearly seen many changes since its inception. The village pre-dates the Domesday book. A community has existed at this place for over 1000 years. At one point in its history the village exceeded Leominster in size and was an important centre of commerce during the mediaeval period. Following the Industrial Revolution, Pembridge appeared to "fall off the map" and economic activity declined. The village was left alone to continue its rural traditions in relative isolation and, as a consequence, much of its medieval character remained unspoiled.

Gatehouse, East Street (RCHM 10, SMR 16362)

Description
This is a small, two-bay, brick cottage in East Street, situated to the west of Kings House (formerly The Greyhound). The building contains a pair of crucks that are now completely contained within the structure; in earlier photos, (RCHM c. 1930 and Watkin's series in Hereford Library c.1890) the crucks are visible in the east elevation of what was then an external wall.

Sampling
Samples 40-44 were obtained from the central cruck truss and an associated purlin within this building
