Questions about The Thatch

Yes: rated Regional (record 40851003).
Can you visit The Thatch?

When was The Thatch built?

Is The Thatch protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
