Wow! Definitely not the sort of history you'd advertise when you wanted to sell the cottage on! It's amazing that Mary Hadfield survived, especially as all the others associated with the house didn't..!!

Notwithstanding its background, it looks like a really beautiful cottage and the garden is lovely. A great find and beautifully captured.

I like the image of the stocks in the PiP..............say what you like, the people knew how to entertain themselves in those days :-))

I hope you're keeping cool and having a good week David. Best wishes, Keith.

Thanks Keith,. yes despite the cottages history (next door too) I reckon the sale prices would be astronomical. purely due to the history and such a well known location,. The village itself is a beautiful place to live.. we know folks who live there too - used to stay over and do the pubs,. but I think that only one of 4 or 5 now remains.// Thanks for your glowing comment - keep well and 'Good Wishes - from > Dj
