Units such as this were, I understand, set up to provide a living for ex-combatants of the Great War. The building to the right looks as though it was a hen-house. The village has outlived its original philanthropic purpose and it is now just another dormitory village (the nearby railway station now doubt helps in this regard). The likelihood is that this site will soon be redeveloped for a new house.
