The Durdin or The Weavers Cottages were built by Alexander Durdin in the late 17th century. They were lived in by weavers when the trade was at its height and now these cottages feature many items, artefacts, furniture and pictures from bygone times. The development comprises a pair of semi-detached, two-bay, single-storey dormer cottages with attic conversion. Beautiful heritage garden to the rear featuring a variety of vegetables, and plants grown for the dyeing of wool used in weaving.
