Pendean is a
timber framed building and was built in 1609. In contrast with
medieval houses it has no open hall, instead a brick chimney heats two of
the ground floor rooms and one of the upper chambers and a vent lets smoke
into a smoke chamber for curing meat. The interior rooms are
fully furnished with replica furniture. This very atmospheric
exhibit is used for our Period Workshops and is often used for filming historical documentaries and dramas.
