Downhayes Cottage

The present structure comprises an original early nineteenth century cottage (nearest the lane) with a more recent extension built on at right angles. Some of the original outbuildings still stand (see right of picture). Down Hays (so spelt in the Census of 1841) was one of a number of cottages on the estate of Polapit Tamar which was owned during the nineteenth century by Edward Coode. Polapit Tamar House still stands, as does Wilkie (formerly Wilkey) Down cottage. All three properties are just off the Boyton to Yeolmbridge Road.
