Clovelly
From Lacey Green History
Research by Joan West from the deeds of Clovelly Cottages, lent by Teresa Foster, nee Teresa Rixon
The house called Clovelly was originally two attached cottages. Situated on the west side of Main Road, Lacey Green, beside a track on the south side leading to Floyds Farm which lay behind the cottages.
The first time a property name has been found was in the 1939 Register (census) when it is listed as two cottages - no 1 Groverick and no 2 Groverick.
The history of the two was very similar for some time.
