Gate Cottage

Gate Cottage is a Grade II listed building, dating back to the 1700s. Although it was probably two dwellings originally, during much of the 1800s it was the village draper’s shop and family home. In 1861 the draper was Charles Pomroy, and living here with him were his wife, 2 daughters, a shop assistant, two apprentices and a servant. Charles moved his shop to Sutton House in the centre of the village and was replaced here by George West, a tailor.
