Thatched Cottages in High Street - a history
40 yards S of Tudor House, on E side of High Street.
About 1957, camera facing E.
Listed: 3/8A III Half-timber cottages with thatch roofs (RHS now tiles). Old arched wooden doorway.
The cottage at the right hand side used to be part-thatched, part-tiled. It seems to fit the description of architecture in Mickleton given by H J Massingham in ‘Shepherd’s Country’ – ‘Stone, brick, plaster, half-timbering and red-brown tiles all make a league of it in one small cottage’ for it has stone fireplace wall, half-timber with plaster in-filling, tiled roof and brick sides to dormers. No doubt these alterations came about because the cottage suffer3ed damage when the shop next door was badly damaged by fire.
