Old Thatch
The Old Thatch, a 17th Century thatched cottage. This was once a beer house called the Rose and Crown with stabling and rooms for the night. It became a private home in the 19th Century and from 1929 to 1938 it was home to Enid Blyton, the children's novelist well known for "The Famous Five", "The Secret Seven" and many other books. By the 1990s the house and gardens had fallen into decay. However, the house has been restored by its current owner, garden designer Jacky Hawthorne, who has also lovingly redesigned the surrounding two acre gardens to reflect the history and peacefulness of the setting.
