KINGTON LANGLEY CHURCH LANE ST 97 NW (north side)

8/71 Nos 1 and 2 Saint Peter's Cottages

20.12.60 II

Pair of houses, late C17, rubble stone with concrete plain tile roof and brick end stacks. Two storeys and attic, 3-window range of cyma-moulded 2-light recessed mullioned windows, the lower windows originally alternating with doors in flush moulded surrounds. Dripcourse over ground floor, stepped over doors. Near symmetrical, but with minor inconsistencies that suggest that building was in two phases: upper windows have hoodmoulds, but left window has dripcourse, left side flush quoins are not full- height, and ground floor left 2-light is not aligned with window above. Right cottage has C20 alterations, a window replaces former door and former central window has one light only surviving, modern door inserted to right. Lean-to on east wall. Barrel-vaulted cellar. John Aubrey recorded that the former chapel-of-ease at Kington Langley had been converted to a house by 1670, and traditionally these houses are on the church site, but there is no clear evidence of medieval work.
