History

Possibly a C17 chimney, now (1995) too overgrown with ivy to determine precisely how it was attached to the cottage. Spurrell in 1921 described it as 'an excrescence from a house which until 1870 or so ran parallel with the road'. The cottage he refers to is shown on the 1865 O S map. By comparison with the 1907 edition it is inferred that the chimney was attached to its rear wall just E of the centre-line. The chimney is remembered locally as having remained in use long after the demolition of the cottage, serving as a communal bakery until 1927. The garden wall abutting the chimney is recent.

Exterior

A chimney about 5 m tall, built of local stone. The shaft of the chimney is round and tapering, but it is square internally and has an inclination to the N. It has projecting capping and dripstones. The base of the chimney is rectangular, measuring about 1 m by 1.5 m internally. To the S is a large doorway-sized opening; the opening was presumably larger when it was incorporated in a cottage. The main oven is in a large semi-domed projection at the N side of the chimney. It has a cast-iron lintel with disturbed masonry above it. There is a smaller oven, probably not original, at the E side, both ovens being reached from the interior of the chimney. A buttress at the SE corner is probably recent.
