I'm astonished I haven't submitted images of this charming little green, surrounded by mostly old cottages, on the east side of Cott. Was it a local trading centre, as the name might suggest? On the right is the thatched Steps Cottage, dating originally from around 1500 https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1324984 . The house on the left here is mapped as Old Staple, and identified on the Historic England map as a listed outbuilding https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1108330 , but the description in no way matches.
