Even small early houses generally have long histories of evolution. William Timson built this house with a single front room, entered from a central doorway between the present two principal windows, and a small rear space. Remodelings of the mid-eighteenth century, c. 1818, and 1842 created the present front appearance. The rear wing was added by the Reverend W. A. R. Goodwin, and a member of his family lived there until 1988.
