Full description
BUCK, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV219466.
’impham cottage’ & its associated field system are shown on the 1843 tithe map & all later maps. It may have been the site of the c18 stamping mill. A survey in 2003 found the two storey cottage ruinous with a chimney 5.5m high through the centre of the eastern wall. An oven is built into the north side of the ground floor fireplace & a smaller fireplace 0.4m wide x 0.8m high is located at first floor level. Piles of rubble up to 1.5m high indicate the location of outhouses shown on the historic maps (buck).
