These are said to be weaver's cottages and in rebuilding a partition wall reused medieval masonry was found, which has been returned to the priory.

Detailed investigation of exterior, and interior of No 2 alone suggests No 2 added to end of terrace slightly afterwards, but date of whole is 17th century. Much altered then restored. No 2 had one open room at first floor but interior of remainder of terrace not seen.

(S2) states that during renovations to Tudor Cottage an ovolo moulded mullion was found in the attic. However there is nothing to indicate that it is not a recently imported curio.
