History: The Coachman’ s Cottage was one of several cottages which were built by freed slaves on Wesleyan Church land in the 1830’s. The land. is still owned by the Methodist Church, while the cottages are held by the owners in perpetual lease hold. The cottages have been passed on from one generation to the riex and in many cases the same family has been in residence for four or five generations.
The cottages are of simple vernacular design. The one known as the Coachman’ s cottage has a small centre gable. The ceilings are still intact, but the windows are 19th century.-
