Stoneleigh Cottage - Carpentry Shed
E side of High Street, opposite Butcher’s shop.
Camera facing SW.
Shed. Brick. Tiled roof. Adapted as a builder’s shed for many years but from the bricked in arches, which can be seen both back and front, the first floor window bricked up, and the first floor door at the end, which may have had outside steps to it, it appears to have been a cart shed with granary over. This is quite ordinary except that it is standing right on the road and one wonders who it belonged to because there is no farm actually adjacent and Stoneleigh, across footpath, already had plenty of land and outbuildings when it was a farm. It is clearly shown on the 1885 OS map and also on the Tithe map of 1840 – at that time there was a Toll Bar somewhere along this stretch of road, and on the estate map of 1698 there is a peculiar sort of island here. It would be interesting to know what changes have taken place to the road, the buildings and land just here.
