Within this photograph can be seen
Holdenhurst Farmhouse and Magdalen Cottage. This ancient thatched and beamed
cottage with bricked up windows at the rear, was probably built before 1670
when a window tax was levied on houses with more than six windows. Hidden by
the large Horse Chestnut or 'Conker' tree to the left is Hockey's Barn. To the
right of Magdalen Cottage is the Dairymans' Cottage (hidden by a large bush). A
short narrow lane known as 'Sterte Lane' devides the two properties. Fisherman
use this route to access the banks of the Stour. If
you use your mouse pointer to click upon Magdalen Cottage you will be taken to
a page featuring the historic little building which is situated at the
rear! |
