Frith Cottage

A tiny old cottage at the Frith (once part of a small group called the Wilkins), which dates back to the seventeenth century. (Katrina Thatcher).

Rememberance of George Hunt:

"Talking of our house, Frith Cottage, 'I don't remember it, but I've heard my father speak on't. A man named Frank Whiting used to live there and he was thrown from his horse an' killed just up here on the common, and as long as it was open common the people here did used to keep his name cut in the turf where it happened. They cut his initials in the turf an' kept it clean".'
