This house certainly dates from at least the 16th Century, and is thought to date from the 13th Century. It is now a nursing home. It is on Horsepool Road (to the left in the photo) at the junction with Mathill road (going up to the right). In about 1840 it was bought by Henry Chilcote after the death of his father, Rev. Joseph Chilcote, vicar of Dean Prior and rector of Thurleston. There are several memorials to the Chilcote family in St Mary's church nearby, and an obelisk in St. Marychurch is a memorial to Joseph's grandson Herbert Nicholas Chilcote MRCS - see Image
