Houses, The Street, Chilmark
Image: © Andy Gryce Taken: 29 Jun 2007
This cottage is halfway along The Street, the main street of the village of Chilmark, see Image, and is substantial compared with village houses generally. The cottage is built of local limestone probably from Chilmark Quarries south of the village, it has mullioned windows, and may be early 18th-century. There is a nameplate 'Taylors Cottage' though whether this has any historical significance is not known. The cottage is a listed building, and in the entry is called Olivers Cottage, http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=320338&mode=quick,
