Numbers 1 and 2 Seven Oaks Cottages were built in the 17th century or, possibly, earlier. Timber framed, plastered, under a hipped tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1275684 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.
