Brookfield, Wash Lane
Brookfield cottage in Wash Lane, the house is dated 1809 with the initials JH and predates the adjacent schoolroom and church. It is known that Joseph Hughes, a toolmaker, his brother John and wife Hannah lived in the house at the end of the 19th century.
Wash Lane was the old road to London and almost opposite stood the black and white half-timbered house known as the Plague House which was built in 1656 by Richard Warburton. It is likely that those who died of the plague here were not buried in the consecrated ground of the parish but interred in the field immediately behind the plague house, which was at the time glebe land. No doubt this accounted for the human remains discovered in the mid 19th century and plotted on the 1875 map. The plague house was demolished in 1957.

Christ Church and Wash Lane Schoolroom
Wash Lane Schoolroom was built in 1844 by Thomas Greenall as a much needed infants’ school in this rural area. In 1872 it was extended and its status changed to a Mixed School, having the services of both a master and a school-mistress and around this time the school had to be closed many times due to flooding from the river in Wash Lane. It continued to be used as a school until 31st March 1913 and since then Christ Church has used the building for various parish activities.
