Now named Bank Cottage, this was formerly the National Westminster Bank. The two-storey part was built in the early 19th century, with the later one-storey addition, now used by an estate agency. Constructed of brick, partly tile-hung and partly weatherboarded, all under a hipped slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1216907 Northiam is a large village in the valley of the River Rother, East Sussex, some 10 miles north of Hastings. The village sits astride the A28 road from Canterbury to Hastings. Queen Elizabeth I stopped in the village for a meal and left behind a pair of green damask shoes. In May 1944, just before D-Day, the Prime Ministers of four countries inspected the troops of Southern Command on the village playing fields. Great Dixter House and gardens form the western edge of the village.
