No Morse either !
@devonman It looks as though the right-hand ~2/3 perhaps has been caught after a cleaning and before repainting the exposed timbers...?

I love the small cantilevered windows.

@SomeMichGuy The building is split into two units for business use .
It does look as though cleaning has taken place at different times .
@devonman I am assuming cleaning--rather than restoring, resurfacing, repainting--due to the streaks from water.

However, I'm guessing that the end in question was redone at some point and that explains the new windows and more sparse half-timbers; it seems likely that there were other cantilevered window seats and a matching density of half-timbers prior to whatever renovation occurred. ??
Beautiful.

The timberframe is particularly lovely.

@SomeMichGuy Yes, and carefully maintained.

So much history!!
@Quimliqer In Britain, at the site of one of the oldest, most revered seats of higher learning? You *must* be joking! ;-)
Is The Kings Arms open?
