Description

Bede Cottages, now a pair of cottages, dates from the late 17th century and was altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick with brick coped tumbled gables, kneelers, and a corrugated tin roof which replaced original thatch. It has an axial brick stack. The cottage is a single storey with a garret, featuring a four-bay front. This includes two planked doors flanked by added brick buttresses, and single two-light sliding glazing bar sashes. The interior retains a clasped purlin roof. In 1710, Samuel Mottram founded a charity to provide the cottages for two widows or widowers of the parish, along with the use of half an acre of adjoining land and two chaldrons of coal.
