The Village Draper's Shop / Butcher's Shop

In the mid-late 1800s the house at the corner of Park Lane, known as Sutton House, is where the village draper’s shop was; and then in the 1900s it became the village butcher’s. The shop was in an extension to the main building on the left hand side, and it had an awning over it to keep the sun off and help keep the meat cool. In the earlier 1800s the draper's shop had probably been in the house now known as Gate Cottages, by Gate Farm.
