No 10 The Beacon, which boasts a decent porch and tripartite sash windows, was built with a rear wall in mud, which was slate hung, the raw cob beneath the slate-hanging proving that this was the finish from the outset, and not a secondary layer of protection added to roughcast or render. The mud rear wall of this house, exceptionally tall for local mud wall, has only recently come to light.
