Old maps show a row of cottages on Horley Row separated from the road (originally a track) by an area of open ground, being the northern edge of what was Horley Common. A number of these cottages survive, but they are now separated from (and largely hidden from sight from) the road by more recent buildings. Monks Cottage, seen here, is an example. It dates from the 17th century and is grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1378000.
