Over's Farm appears to be a timber-framed building but no survey was undertaken. The farm name is probably derived from a family name recorded in the parish Hovere (1580) and Over (1675) (24). At least some of the land formed part of Handlye Common which was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). Some ancient oaks in the area may be relicts of the 400 pollards reserved when timber from Handlye Common was sold circa 1565 (30). The precise bounds of tenement called The Dickett cannot be located but the tenement can be associated with Over's Farm and land tenanted by Mary Howell and the cottage held by John Cheesman in 1840 (29). The chimney stack of the ruined cottage is brick built and not an early construction but some timbers lying nearby appear to be elements of an unglazed open window part of an earlier timber framed dwelling, possibly the one described in c1720 'this house down and the materials sold to John Bland'. If that identification is correct the cottage was rebuilt at a later date. |
