"Frederick Layton, who had emigrated as a child in 1842 and prospered at Milwaukee (U.S.A.), in 1900 bought the site of his birthplace cottage at the west end of the main street and built on it a row of three 4-roomed cottages, named after his mother Mary Layton. They were to serve as almshouses for elderly local labourers, preferably born in the parish, or their widows." http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18901
