This tiny cottage offers a great glimpse into the life of country dwellers in the 1600-1800s. It consists of four rooms and a garden and barn.
We called in late one afternoon and were the only visitors. The guide was fantastic, telling us the entire history from its original purpose as a glass and iron storage barn, to its conversion to a cottage (due to the glass industry's being banned by the King!). The top floor was a letting room, as the road nearby was a coaching highway.
The cottage is small, so can't take lots of visitors at once. So at peak times it's worth phoning in advance to book a visit.
An evocative site, this is of the more unusual National Trust properties. Well worth a visit if you're interested in the lives of poorer folk in the past.
Interesting cottage. Great guide. We pre booked a tour for the 3 of us. The guides told us the history of the house and village. There were books to illustrate some of the features
very interesting little house. a good oversight of how the average worker lived
Really interesting tour which brought the place alive. Can't believe this little cottage was still live in in 1982. Well worth a visit.
My nan lives next door to it, so I see it all the time and I have seen some spooky stuff just looking in the window. You might be lucky enough to just about see a woman standing in the top right window from the front.
