Bay Tree House
This house is actually much older than it looks, and, surprisingly, it is not Listed. It was originally the village school (Dame School), before the "new" village school was built, circa 1900. Latterly the building was divided into two dwellings known as Bay Tree Cottage and Rectory Cottage, and owned by Cicely Fletcher nee Syndecombe-Bowyer, who was brought up in the house called Malabar, which was then the Rectory; her father was the Rector (?). After a tenant set fire to the nearer dwelling in about 2000, both lay empty for a while. When Cicely died, it was sold as a single property, and has now been re-combined into a single dwelling. The dormers you see are new. The front door to the far dwelling has been partly bricked up, and is now a window. The raised flower beds are also new, as is the centre window, which previously was bricked up, with plaster pargetting mouldings.
