Proverb Cottage
The house is covered with proverbs carved in the stone by William E.Cook, schoolmaster and sculptor, 1776. Pictured outside are Miss Wragg and Mrs Hannah Bower, circa 1914. The cottages have since been pulled down but many of the carved stones have been saved and built into a wall at Jackhill Farm and two pieces are in Holy Trinity church.
