Church Cottages

Church Cottages are two adjoining cottages, likely originally a single dwelling, dating from the 16th century, with possible earlier origins, and extended in the 17th century. They are built of unrendered stone rubble and feature a thatched roof with brick stacks at each gable end. The cottages probably started as a three-room-and-through-passage layout, but both the front and rear doorways have been later blocked. The internal partitions have been modified, and a room was added at the right end when the building was divided into two separate homes, each consisting of two rooms flanking a passage.

The left-hand cottage has a three-window range of small 20th-century two-light casements, with six panes per light. There is a three-light window to the left of the blocked doorway to the former through passage, and a 20th-century door has been inserted to the right, topped with a hipped thatch roof. The right-hand cottage features a 19th-century three-light casement on each floor to the left of a 20th-century gabled porch with a slate roof. The three-light windows on the right side of each floor are likely original 17th-century casements, with small leaded panes still intact in all three lights of the upper storey and in the central light of the ground floor windows, while the outer lights have two panes each. There is a lean-to shed at the right gable end and two buttresses at the rear lower end. Hoodmoulds are present above the rear blocked doorway and the window above it. The interior is not accessible. The cottages' close proximity to the church suggests they may have originally served as a church-house.
