| Walland Brinkers Lane Wadhurst |
| Walland - the most picturesquely placed house in the Parish. Built with three gables of entire barge board and oak mullioned windows. The rooms S. and S.W. are probably newer than the rest, being higher pitched. The chimney stacks are beautifully moulded. Inside the walls are oak panelled. The hearths are curiously tesselated. The initials W.C. and M.C. are on the mantelpiece and glass of one of the windows, with date 1621." extract from Wace's Wadhurst |
