These cottages were designed by the architect John Nash (1752-1835), who later did much work for the Prince Regent, who eventually became King George IV. The cottages probably date from the very start of the 19th century. There is an unusual ogee type bay window looking onto the lane. John Nash was responsible for several of the cottages in this tiny village. Originally a more elaborate development was planned, but that never happened. In the distance can be seen a traditional red telephone kiosk, but whether that is working or merely ornamental, is unknown.
