Chestnut Cottages - a history
Compiled by Mickleton Women’s Institute during the 1970s:
High Street, E side, next to Myrtle House.
Camera facing E.
About 1883. Manor estate house built in Mr Sidney Graves-Hamilton’s time. Rubble. Gabled. Roof tiled. 3 dormers across eaves line. Central dormer projects slightly. 2 s[torey]. Windows 2 – and 3 – light mullions, dripmoulds, one stone bay under central dormer. Chimneys built as for stone roof, described by Dawber in ‘Historic buildings in the Cotswolds’, Batsford, 1904, p 44). ‘The chimney stack above the roof and up to the base moulding was invariably square, while on the other side, and coinciding with the gable coping, is a projecting weather course, under which the slates were tucked, and which also returned above the bottom edge (Fig 52)’.
Shown as an example of the quality of building for tenants on the Manor estate at this period.
