Type and Period

Description

NRHE data transfer: Sharpe's Cottages [NAT]. <1> Sharpe's Cottages, a range of four tenements, about two miles north of the church. Some of the doors are original, and have moulded and ledged battens. The second chimney-stack from the south end has diagonal pilasters. Inside the building the second tenement contains an original ledged door with moulded battens. The third tenement has moulded ceiling-beams. <2> Note: The NRHE record does not note that the buildings were destroyed; however, they are no longer visible on maps and so were likely demolished in the mid 20th to early 21st centuries.
