Description
Woodcock Cottage is a house from the 17th century located on Station Road in Impington. The building features a timber-framed and plastered first floor, with painted brick at the ground floor that may be casing the timber frame. It has a thatched roof with a wide, reduced local brick ridge stack. The cottage is one storey with an attic and has a three-unit plan. It includes three horizontal sliding sash dormer windows and three sixteen-pane flush-framed hung sash windows. There is a panelled door positioned in the lobby entry. A slate plaque on the wall commemorates Elizabeth Woodcock, who lived there and was buried in a snow drift on the common for eight days from February 2 to February 10, 1799, before she survived.
