The Model Cottages, Plough Lane, Beddington, Greater London

The Model Cottages were originally 4 cottages and date from the mid 19th century. They were built to provide accommodation for the Carew Estate Workers. They were then used as almshouses by the Church in Beddington. There is an external chimney at each end. One has a coat of arms and the other a plaque with the initials HJ or JH and the date 1859. These are probably the initials of the Rev James Hamilton, rector of Beddington from 1841 to around 1860.
