Description

The Church Cottage is a former poor house, now a residential property, built in the early 19th century, around 1840. It is constructed of random ragstone and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and a gabled design, with a central buff brick ridge stack that is corbelled and filleted. The front facade has a regular arrangement of two windows on each floor, with 2-light casements. The ground-floor windows are adorned with stone voussoirs and slight keystones. There is one window on each floor of the left gable end, while the rear wall overlooks the churchyard and has no windows. The central entrance features a ribbed door, also with voussoirs and keystones. Above the door, there is a slightly recessed rectangular panel in the centre of the first floor. The interior has not been inspected. A print from 1794 indicates that a thatched timber-framed house existed on this site prior to the current structure.
