22 August 2021. Level 2 Building Recording. This is the easternmost half of a pair of cottages to the east of Norton Hall Farm and north-east of All Saints' Church. Two pairs of cottages were built in the mid-19th century (1847 - 1874) to serve the needs of the Norton Hall Farm; currently they are separated by front gardens from the lane. The cottages are noted as of special interest because they were built as part of the Norton Hall Estate, including listed farm buildings (NMR 3805).They are claimed as being in an Arts and Crafts style but this is debatable as they contain no features from this period or any of the accepted symbolism. <1>
