Description & details Unicorn House (the original name is not known) was built in the medieval village of Weobley in the 15th Century. It is an example of Wealdon construction where only portions of the upper floor are jettied and therefore floored, but the roof is s continuous range. It is however more related to urban Wealdon houses in Coventrys Spon street than the more commonly known Wealdons of the South East. Country UK County Herefordshire Locality Weobley Postcode HR4 8SL Visiting details Although the house is privately owned it can obviously be viewed from outside, and possibly by arrangement with the owner inside. Nearby places to visit Weobley is one of several villages in North Herefordshire known as the "Black & White Trail". All these villages have numerous examples of traditional timber framed houses and buildings. - Discussion
