Summary

This cottage operated as a separate medieval open hall with a service end and a floored parlour although it was the back wing of The Swan (NHER 40617). The floor was inserted in the late 16th century. It is not recorded in documents until it had declined into a stable and was sold off separately in 1742. It had been subdivided by 1859. An archaeological watching brief in the front garden found no archaeological features or finds.

A single sample was obtained from this building, but it was unsuitable for dating as it contained too few rings.
