This row of old cottages have a date over an entrance of 1690. They were extensively remodelled by Henry Martin Gibbs (of the local Gibbs family of Tyntesfield fame) from 1900-27. Grade II listed. The post office used to run here but was closed a few years ago. Previously in the early twentieth century the office was at the end of the village, close to the modern war memorial and village hall.
