Hudson's Cottage

This would be of interest simply as being a largely unspoilt 17th century thatched cottage. It is however reputedly the home of Jeffrey Hudson, who was known as 'the smallest man from the smallest county in England'. For a long time he never grew taller than 18 inches and for a time was a page to Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I. The cottage is Listed Grade II.
