The two storey south porch dates from the 16th century. The parvise room above may have been first used as a lodging for a priest as it is provided with a fireplace. However it was later the first home of the Grammar School founded by Francis Spanning in 1566. A later teacher here was the Revd Francis Marbury whose daughter Ann married William Hutchinson, emigrated to New England and is considered one of the founding mothers of the United States. Ann was well-educated for a woman of her time and is thought to have gained that education from her father here in Alford.
