A pair of 18C houses dated 1776, built by the Walker family who were quarry workers, presumably in the quarry that was immediately behind the houses on the edge of the old common. Members of the Walker family continued to own the house on the left house until 2001, when it was purchased by an architect, refurbished and modernised as invisibly as possible.
