These three cottages occupy a wedge of land between Mill Road and (in the foreground) Fen Road. Frederick Layton, who had emigrated in 1842 and made money in Milwaukee, bought the site of his birthplace in 1900 and built these cottages, named after his mother, as almshouses for elderly farm labourers born in the village, or their widows.
