Flood Cottages, Tilshead
The cottages are built in 1842 of the plastered cob. Cob has been used extensively for thousands of years. In Britain there is evidence of its use dating back to the C13th. It was used as a cheap and readily available building material, which required the minimum of tools, skills and knowledge to use. Cob was the traditional method of earth wall construction. It developed in areas with poor building stone or limited timber supply. Its use was predominant in the south-western counties and parts of Hampshire. During the C19th. there was a surge in cob building as taxes prohibited the lower classes from building in brick. However, towards the middle of the century when the taxes were repealed, cob construction tailed off, and by the turn of the century very little new cob building was taking place. A large cast-iron plaque, on wall in the centre of front first floor, commemorates the building of the cottages. For a close-up of the plaque Image

Plaque, Flood Cottages
The plaque records details of the 'Awful Visitation' that happened to Tilshead in 1841. The Flood Cottages were built in 1842 from public fund to help the poor in the Tilshead and Shrewton parishes who had suffered in the Great Flood of 1841. Special circumstances created the great flood. Two days after a heavy snowstorm there was a rapid thaw and at about five o'clock on 16th January a torrent of water several feet deep rushed down the valley over the still frozen ground that was unable to absorb it. It is said that the water was up to fifteen feet deep as it poured through the village, sweeping some cottages clean away and only leaving a wall or chimney stack standing of others. The damaged amounted to many thousands of pounds for besides houses, barns, walls fences and animals were destroyed. Fortunately the people did have warning of the disaster and managed to escape the torrent.
