Built at right angles to Manor Road sometime around 1850 possibly for nearby brewery workers. In 1902 they were obtained by the then local rector along with a number of other local worthies who was concerned about the bad living conditions. They set up the Hurstpierpoint Cottage Trust to provide affordable well maintained housing for local people and still own the freehold today on all bar one of the twenty cottages. The other was sold to raise capital for repairs.
