The iron kissing gate marks the start of a short public footpath to Commercial End. Once Lordship Cottage, Lordship House has reverted to its previous name. Parts of it are extremely old and the lengthy Grade II listing begins "House, originally a chapel. Early C13 converted in late C16 or early C17 when a bay was added to the west end. This bay was demolished or collapsed and has in turn been replaced by a single-storey brick room in C20. Apart from minor alterations the original clunch rubble and limestone walls of the C13 building are intact. On the South side are two buttresses, of post-mediaeval date, with the offsets rebuilt".
