Attwood Place
This house was built in 1709, by the Attwood family. It was not brought up to date, like so many of the old houses, until very recently. Proper sanitary accommodation and bathroom were not present, water was laid on however and electricity installed. Between the years 1860-1957 the house was continually occupied by the Rogers family.

   At one time it possessed a lovely garden, the wisteria which grew round the house until it was cut down this year (1957) was probably about 100 years old.
   Behind the house is a well over 300 feet deep, and in bygone days it was the well from which all the cottages on the estate drew their water. At that time all cottages as far as ‘Ashlands’ belonged to the Rogers family.
   A picturesque old thatched barn stood at the side of the house but was demolished several years ago. There is still one thatched barn to be seen near the house,

which is obviously very old and must at one time been used as a stable. It is now the property of Mr Frederick Goodwin.
   Since the sale of Attwood Place a few months ago to Dr Mahon extensive alterations have been made both inside and outside the house.

Attwood Cottage
This house was originally two cottages and built about the same time as Attwood Place, but through the years it has been added to considerably and converted into one dwelling. For many years it was owned and occupied by the late Rev. John A. Hutton DD., Editor of ‘British Weekly’, and Mrs Hutton, who now lie buried in Ash Churchyard. The son and daughter-in-law, Sir Maurice and Lady Hutton, then occupied the house for a few years, but last year they left for Australia and the property was sold to Mr. Fraser whose family are still in occupation
