Poplar Cottage, probably the home of a landless labourer dating from the mid
17th century. It is an important example of the transition
from open hall house such as Bayleaf to houses with chimneys such as
Pendean. Poplar has a 'smoke bay' an early form of chimney.
It is a wonderful venue
for drama and features in our Open Air Theatre productions. This is where
we meet on our Period Agricultural Sessions. Suggested
