A post-medieval cottage within the area of medieval settlement of Shiphay Collaton, utilised in the mid 19th century as the Dame School. Described as 'a small building of great interest at the eastern end of Kennel Field, a little to the east of Cosy Cot and just near Shiphay Brook. Originally thatched {but covered with corrugated iron by 1966) and having a lean-to roof although detached from any other building, it was one of thirteen cottages on the Kitson Estate. It has two rooms, the lower having a fireplace in the south wall; the upper room was formerly approached by an outside staircase which has now disappeared. This building, only 20 feet long by 13 feet wide, was the Dame School - Shiphay's first school.'

The site is now within the curtilages of 43 and 45 Water Lane.
