Described in the Appreciation as "a neat terrace of Industrial Revolution cottages", but the description is let down by the comment, "view through gate of general muddle with 2 garden sheds and Church behind". It's a lot neater now.
No 1 was once home to a Mr and Mrs Stokes: he was one of two butchers in the village, working from a shed in Back Street, with a slaughter house on higher ground at the top of Rosemary Lane. He was followed by Mr and Mrs Maurice Ford, who moved out in 1971 when the house was comprehensively modernised by the provision of a bathroom and kitchen, and a tidier arrangement for the area behind the cottages, which had previously all had separate yards with steps to the top pathway.
Meanwhile, no 5 became the new home for Mabel Claxton, when her house in Rosemary Lane became uninhabitable.
