Tedders, Frieth, 1969 - From Joan Barksfield's collection

Tedders and The Old Stores are situated on the furthest extent of the land once belonging to Barlows farm, but both appear to have been sold off at an early date. A property deed dated 1783 describing these cottages states "Hannah Mole, widow, sold to William White for £40, cottage, woodhouse etc where John Audy previously dwelt".

So far the date when the split from the Barlow farm occurred or the date of building of the oldest parts of these cottages has not been found.

The ownership of these two cottages stayed together until 1974 when Tedders was sold off to a separate owner. During most of the last 200-300 years these cottages were tenanted. From 1822 to sometime prior to 1846 Edward Lane and his son were bakers here and presumably started selling bread. Tedders has a bread oven and there may have been one in The Old Stores too.

Mr Lane sold these properties to Mr Warrington. In 1849 Ephraim Webb bought "Shop, cottage next and bakehouse opposite, newly enclosed" for £275 from Mr Warrington.

The name Tedders is not an old one - the cottage was named thus by Mr Ted Druce who owned these properties from 1953 - 1974.

[ According to Roger Druce the property was called Rose Cottage before that.

June 2011: Julie Salt-Cowell, the present occupier, tells me that they took the property name back to Rose Cottage in 2008
