A brief history

Henry Herrett bought the house and land in 1827 from the executors of the insolvent James Mills. Mill’s daughter Mille had married a Yorkshire innkeeper. The 1827 sale transaction mentions additional structures: cottages and buildings which had possibly been built much earlier. It is likely that the successful Cobbett blacksmith family of the eighteenth century enlarged the house. The ground plan from the 1841 tithe map shows that there has been substantially little change until very recently. There is no mention of a beerhouse on the site: Herrett himself was a carpenter, and he had sublet to wheelwrights. Learn more about our history...
