A well-researched group of cottages, which have been described fully by Stan Rawdon (who lives in Keble Cottage).
Vine Cottage (Number 98, the property just left of centre) is a late-sixteenth century timber-framed house, brick-faced front and back, with a brick, barrelled-roof cellar and soot-blackened roof timbers. In 1769 it is known to have been a homestead and malt house. The front brickwork is inscribed "J.T. 1800". The southern end, added later, was a stable and hay loft. The north end was, for some of its existence, a separate two-roomed dwelling. In the 1920s and 1930s, Albert Whitmarsh ran a fresh fish business from the property.
Number 98a (the left-hand part of the half-timbered range) is Keble Cottage. It was probably built as a three-bay Wealden house towards the end of the fifteenth century. Soot-blackened roof timbers indicate that part of the house was a hall, open to the roof. Originally, Numbers 98 and 98a were separate buildings, but the whole is now one long, jettied range, with a ladder loft (upper door) inserted.
The building nearest to the camera is the Old Saddlery (now divided into two houses, Numbers 97 and 97a). It was a house of three bays, built of timber between 1450 and 1530. The ground floor window, with a hanging shutter, was used as a shop window. The lattice upper windows are nineteenth century, as are similar windows in the village. The conversion of this property in 1968 received a commendation from the Civic Trust.
