Description: The house shows a quatrefoil datestone of 1617 (though the original building could have preceded this date). The same building can be seen in NTGM006635, with slight variations in details due to 'artistic licence'. The picture seen here was painted by F Green and donated by T C Moore who painted the other picture at a later date than this one, and probably based his drawing on the one seen here (as the house had been pulled down by the time he did his drawing). There are conflicting dates given for the demolition of this building. The picture seen here, by F Green, states that R. Hooton's House was taken down c 1845. The later picture by T C Moore says it was pulled down c 1806. R Hooton was described as a tenant of Malting premises around 1827 (Interestingly, there is also a similar style house on the same street, painted by a C Hooton, which can be seen at NTGM006633.)
