 In 1851, there was a census, which included details of church attendance at the three places of worship in the village – the Parish Church of St. Mary, the Primitive Methodist Chapel and the Congregational Church (now demolished).The 7th Duke decided to build new cottages for the Estate tenants, and these were constructed of the best materials available to avoid needless repairs in the future.These properties were easy to clean, and had all facilities – gardens, water supply etc.
