Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Old House - Woodhill Road Danbury The house in the centre of the photograph is 'Old House'; a date stone above the doorway indicates it was built in 1724.
The first owner was one 'William Polly' whose will dated 1737 reads: "I give and bequeath to my eldest son William my house situate & lying in Great Baddow ------. to my son Samuel Polly the old house at Danbury ------. to my son Thomas the house belonging to me lying in the parish of East Hanningfield ------. To my son my new house in Danbury ------.also I bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth the sum of twenty pounds." (abbreviated version) 'New House' can be seen to the right of the photograph but this is not the building referred to by William Polly, which was "in a state of disrepair" and demolished in the late 1880s. The house now on the same site was built around 1890. The houses to the left of Old House are known as Boarded Well Cottages. These were originally three separate dwellings. Nos 1&2 have since been made into a single house and No 3 has as ground floor extension which is just out of picture. |
