On 31st July 1937 Mr and Mrs Arthur Williams moved into Ye Olde Cottage -- the day they were married.
This cottage had no cellar, no mains water and no electricity until about 1946/7. Water was drawn from a tank outside.
The rent was paid to Miss Emma Hawes who was apparently looking after the property for a friend who had gone to Australia.
