The cottages at 132 Piccotts End house wall paintings that date back to the 15th century. Why they are here or who painted them is a mystery we are trying to unravel.

Recent Events

The paintings have been featured in the recent BBC2 series "The face of Britain" hosted by Simon Schama.

Heritage Open Days

The cottage was opened again this year for the Heritage Open Days, on Sunday 11th September 2016. We had 180 visitors and everyone enjoyed their visit.

Next year Heritage Open Days runs from 7th to 10th September 2017, so hope to see you there!

PRIVATE BOOKINGS

We can sometimes arrange private viewings to see the paintings for group visits. For more information please call Karen, on 07830 176431.
