II

Pair of cottages. Dated 1823. Random flint with brick dressings, quoins and vertical strips. Pantile roof with brick central ridge stack. Single depth plan of two rooms to each cottage. Central plank door to each with a 2-light casement either side with a wood frame and iron lattice. A 2-light gable dormer above either side towards centre of row. Only doors to rear.

INTERIOR is virtually unaltered and has plank doors, brick floors, exposed bridging beams and joists, straight flight stairs and large fire places with cooking ranges.

A datestone inscribed 1823 is visible on the right hand of the front elevation.
HISTORY. These cottages were built for the 2nd Marquess Cornwallis 1774-1823 during his ownership of Culford Hall, when he made many improvements employing James Wyatt and Humphry Repton for the hall and park. The estate was sold after the death of Lord Cornwallis in 1823 and these cottages are marked on the 1823 estate map.

These cottages, which have been unoccupied for many years, survive in a remarkably unaltered state and form a significant group with the adjacent Wellside Cottages and the nearby Church of St. Peter.
