Dwellings

Before 1800 most of the houses in the village were timber framed but a growing shortage of wood led to larger houses being built of brick with tiled rather than thatched roofs.  For example, Watermill House, Tasburgh Hall and Tasburgh House.  From the early 19th century smaller houses were also brick built and many can be seen on the Low Road, the Old Horseshoes (a former Public House), Commerce House and others.

Whilst planning a village history walk, Ben Goodfellow undertook extensive research into the histories of some of the older properties in the village.  Many of these were former estate farms or houses.  It is interesting to note that many buildings, now a single property, were previously two or three cottages joined together.
