Notes

  • Two small recesses on top of each other and another to the side. The recesses are small but could have held skeps for catching swarms. It is also possible that the wall may have moved slightly over time. 

    Once a working farm the house origins can be traced back to 1673. However, old maps, of 1862 show a fruit orchard.
