Hidden behind a high hedge in High Street, Applegarth was built in the 17th century incorporating a medieval, cottage. The original 3 bays are in banded flint and stone. The house was extended by 1 bay in the 18th century in sarsen and chalkstone with brick dressings, and by a further 2 bays in the early 19th century in brick. All under a continuous thatch roof. The original 3 bays contain two short principal cruck trusses with heavy windbraces to all 3 bays. Some original internal features and fittings remain. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1033826 Ogbourne St George is a village in the valley of the River Og in Wiltshire. It is sited just off the Roman Road from Cirencester to Winchester, about 7 miles south of Swindon and some 3¼ miles north of Marlborough. The name derives from the Saxon 'Oceburnan' or 'Oc[c]a's stream'. There is a great deal of evidence of prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity including Neolithic flint tools, Iron Age coins, Romano-British coins and pottery and medieval pottery fragments. Ogbourne St George today is a commuter village.
