Easter House and Cottage used to be one large 17th century house. This was added to in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries with alterations and extensions. The original building is typical of the materials used in the surrounding area; random rubble walls and Welsh slate. In parts the building is imitative of earlier Tudor styles with arches and fireplaces. This is a Grade II Listed Building protected by law. http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N21638 GREAT BAVINGTON 1948 to 1959.
