Description

Crow End Cottages are a pair of cottages located on Ermine Way, dating from the early 18th century and early 19th century. They are timber framed, rendered, and constructed with clay bat, topped with a long straw thatch roof. The cottages feature a late 17th century or early 18th century red brick ridge stack.
