view of matching, church end green

the area to the west of the church is surrounded by the moated hall and its old barns and the c15 jettied marriage feast room. the layout of this green goes back to saxon days and whilst the church suffered from a blomfield restoration in 1875, the area has been little spoiled by modern developement.

jettied building still used for its original purpose. it faces away from the church and onto the green unlike guild or chantry buildings in this position, and is definately for secular village enjoyment. must be the oldest village hall type of building extant.

the furthest barn in the photo dates from roughly 1600, with the thatched one following the line of the hall moat alongside the green by the church. along with the c16 marriage feast house a good unspoiled group of rural vernacular buildings.
