Sherwood Cottage

Sherwood Cottage is a house, possibly from the 17th century, with some alterations. It features painted incised rendered walls and a pantiled roof, along with a brick chimney. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a gabled front elevation with two bays, plus a one-bay right return facing Chapel Street.

On the ground floor, there are three-light small-paned fixed windows; the right window has an inserted opening casement, while the left has a central double-hung sash. The first floor has a three-light small-paned casement on the left and a small four-pane sash on the right. There is a 20th-century pivoted attic casement. The right return displays a half-glazed door set in a 19th-century wooden surround with a bracketed cornice, and there is a shop front to the right under extended eaves. The ridge chimney on the right is shared with Staith Cottage. Local tradition claims that Robin Hood lived on this site.
