Dutch Cottage, Canvey Island
A grade II listed building, dated 1618. One of two similar cottages left on the island, from the period when a Dutch workforce were imported to secure the island from what was then frequent flooding by the sea. The date 1618 is rather odd as it predates by four or five years the start of this project. Now a museum.

Canvey Island: The Dutch Cottage (1618)
In the early 17th Century Dutch engineers were employed to permanently reclaim Canvey Island from the sea, and they built a series of dykes, drains, embankments and sluices to manage the reclaimed land. Two of the houses that these engineers lived in have survived. This one is the earlier, dating from 1618, and is a Grade II Listed Building. The English Heritage Listed Buildings website describes it thus:- "Cottage, now used as a museum. Dated 1618. Octagonal timber frame, plastered brick facing. Thatched circular pointed roof terminating in a circular chimney stack with moulded capping. One storey and attics. Central eyebrow dormer windows. 2 light casements with Gothic glazing, shutters to ground floor windows. Central nailed door with 5 upper and lower vertical panels. Simple pediment on brackets. Rear buttress. Left later single storey lean-to extension with red tiled roof and similar door (visible in the photo). Date 1618 over door." The second, slightly later, cottage is here Image As the description states the building is currently in use as a museum. Looking at old Victorian Ordnance Survey maps it appears to have survived as an outbuilding to a slightly elevated farm called Hill Hall. Both cottages were listed in 1952.
