History

Former sexton's house to parish church of c. 1865, High Victorian style with proportions of Gothic revival but no overt Gothic detail. The gable front has brickwork apparently of handmade brick. The notched edges above the windows appears several times locally, and may point to a particular architect or builder (cf Primary School, R.H. Bunner premises, the Lion Inn at Caerhowell). The timber-frame in the W end of Bowling Green Cottage adjoining suggests that a longer timber-framed row ran along this street in the C17, but by 1833 only an outbuilding to Church Bank House is marked on map.
