Eumana

'Eumana' was a house made from two cottages Ye Olde Cottage and Rose Cottage, near Floyds Farm. The cottages were purchased in the 1960s by Mr & Mrs Green. They were vastly altered, modernised and made into one house, to become 'Eumana' circa 1970

An additional comment from neighbour 'Tup' Foster who lived at 'Clovelly'. (click Tup & Teresa Foster for their life story.)

"When the Greens started to alter the cottages, they removed some of walls and thinking to use some of the bricks again, they were left heaped outside over winter.   By spring, many of them had crumbled away."

Research note. This was an indication of very old bricks, made before brick kilns did not heat all the brick well enough.   The old local brickworks down Kiln Lane had stopped production by about 1820, but it was already known that the cottages were built before 1823.
