Shepherds Cottage
II
Originally two cottages, later linked to form one property. Circa 1583, modified in mid C18 with C20 link block. Timberframed with outer walls of coursed ironstone with galleting, red brick dressings and tiled roofs with red brick chimneystacks. Two storeys: two windows to each part. Each cottage had a three room plan.
EXTERIOR: The northern part has a half-hipped roof, end chimneystack to the west and external stack to the north. There is a deep plinth, C19 casement windows within original surrounds and an C18 wide doorcase to the south. A pebbledashed C20 lean-to is attached to the north. The southern part has a hipped roof to the west and gabled roof with brick chimneystack to the east, two C19 casements within original openings and doorcase with C20 brick and wooden porch.
INTERIOR: Northern part has a south door opening into a lobby, exposed axial beams and floor joists dated to 1583, C18 partition wall and cambered brick fireplace to west retaining breadoven and recess for smoking meat above. There is also a chamfered spine beam. The staircase partition is of early C19 date with a straight staircase and the first floor retains a C19 cast iron firegrate. Roof not accessible. The southern cottage retained exposed floor joists but the staircase was C20.
HISTORY: Originally two cottages built in the former Royal Forest of Wolmer. The felling date for the first floor joists has been confirmed by dendro-dating to 1583. The deeds to the northern part date to 29th September 1747 when the freehold of the property was acquired by John Eade stonemason. The datestone of 1764 on this part refers to the date when John Eade raised the roof by a foot when the thatched roof was replaced by a plaintiled roof. The southern part has deeds going back to 1820.
Two formerly separate cottages of late C16 origin, modified in the mid C18, retaining original internal features, linked in the C20.
