Description: | These cottages were originally built in the late 14th century, but were altered in the 16th or 17th century. It is possible that the original medieval building was a water-powered textile mill. In the 17th century the cottages were used by weavers, who supplied cloth for fulling (rigorous cleaning by beating) at the nearby Arlington Mill. The cottages were restored from 1971 and are the property of the National Trust. | Subjects: | Wool Barn Textile Mill Landscape Weavers Cottage Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | staff | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
