Full Description

{1} (SP757679) A very small trefoil headed squint window in a cottage with double purlin roof is located in Pitsford. Some of the masonry looks early and there is evidence for a blocked doorway. However the
cottage layout and the relationship between the fireplace and squint window suggest a post-medieval reconstruction. It is possible that this is a priests house similar to the one at Easton on the Hill.
