Church End Cottages

Church End Cottages is a row of six dwellings that were formerly almshouses, built in 1821 by Mr. Ralph Day of Sarratt Hall, as noted on a datestone on the front of the building. The cottages are constructed of red brick with a roughcast right return and feature a tiled roof. They are two storeys high, with one window and an entrance for each cottage. All openings have pointed heads, and there are inner paired and single end entrances. The windows are 20th-century timber casements. The cottages have a moulded plinth and dentilled brick eaves. There is a Sun Fire Insurance marker present, and a posting box from around 1860-70 is located between the two right-hand houses. The building has three cross axial ridge stacks with oversailing caps, and a single iron casement is found in the left return. At the rear, there is a lean-to outshut, and 20th-century tile-hung dormers have been inserted. The rear door and casements have cambered heads. The interior has not been inspected. These almshouses replaced an earlier foundation established by J. Baldwin in 1550.
