Hoblands Cottage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hoblands Cottage was originally built as the stables for Woodheath on the north side of the house. It had living accommodation and in 1881 Henry  Holden (57), a coachman from Kingston, Surrey, was living here with his wife, Anne, two years older than him, from Middlesex. Ten years later, 36 year old Harry Fisher was living here with his wife Emma, then aged 39. He was from Essex, and she was from Wisbeach in Cambridgeshire. They had two sons, Harry, born in 1878, and ten year-old Major, born in 1881, both described as scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1901 census the same property was described as a lodge. It was a gardener and not a coachman who then lived here. Ernest Heald, born in 1878, was the head of the small three-roomed household, with his wife of the same age. He was from Nottinghamshire, and she was from Kent. We have no further information about the occupants until 1934, when Frederick Warner is identified in Kelly\u2019s Directory as the head of the household. He was still there in 1940, but it is not clear if at this stage the Cottage was separated from the main house, or whether Frederick was an employee. By 1945 he had left, and Ernest and Hilda Howard had moved in. They stayed there for four years. James and Lilian Binfield also stayed there for a short time, leaving by 1951. Photographs taken in 1953, reproduced here, show a rather dilapidated building. This was later extended on the west side, but there are enough features in and around the building, for example the brick bower, to make it recognisable as Hoblands Cottage.<\/p>\n\n\n
