I was lucky enough to visit a house in Mottisfont the other day that had a tudor fireplace dendro dated to 1493. It is the earliest wooden fireplace with carving I know of in Hampshire, do correct me if I’m wrong. I have seen plenty of stone ones around this period, but not wooden.

It also has some ‘teardrops’ left from burning rush lights and a daisy wheel inscription to ward off witches and evil.
