This cottage is L-shaped in plan with an outshot in the angle (on the south) and is now boarded above brickwork. The front-range, which faces north-east, is gabled with an external chimney stack at each end. The stack on the eastern end of the front-range is an ingle-nook with a small window in the rear and that on the west side is now redundant. Within living memory the property was divided into two, access being by doors in the centre of the front-range. Church Cottage was built as a single timber-framed dwelling, possibly with first floor hearths to each stack. It is not certain whether the outshot was original or a later addition. All the details of construction, including chiselled carpenter's marks on the rafters, would suggest dating of c1650. In the 1960s the cottage was condemned and then restored and remodelled into a single dwelling again. These notes have been compiled from survey reports prepared by Dr Annabelle Hughes. |
