I have had a thorough read through this really excellent and detailed web site, hoping to findthe age of the red-brick cottages in Church Square, but on this one thing have drawn a blank! I wondered if any bulletin board member knows?
I recall seeing a date over the property at the end of the row of cottages, (Church end) previously a shop.
I had a look today and it stated 1608 but it is a different type of brickwork to the cottages, so they were built much later in life.
Back to square one then.
Thank you for looking - my guess would be somewhere around 130 - 160 years old? There were similar properties in a Northumbrian village in which I used to live which were estate cottages, all about 150 years old.
