NHER 49843 (Building record) - Church Cottages, West Newton

Cottages of clunch partly refaced in carrstone. Rear elevation has blocked windows with surrounds of bricks bearing horizontal skintlings (these occur after around 1770) but the blocking of one window is of bricks with diagonal skintlings (which die out in the 1770s). Presumably therefore older reused bricks were utilised for the blocking. The façade and ends of the building are of around 1880, the date of the reconstruction of the village following purchase of the estate by the Prince of Wales.
