Chilterns was previously named The Folly. Until the mid 20th C this property was three farm workers' cottages built side-by-side, end on to the road and were of the "two up and two down" type. The Census returns from 1841 onwards show many changes of tenants. However one family of which photographs exist lived there about 1900 and are pictured in "Frieth a Chiltern Village" - Mrs Humphrey is the elderly lady sitting outside her cottage doing the mending and Mr Humphrey is the man wearing a moleskin coat and trousers whilst stone picking. The middle cottage was tenanted by an old lady named Jenny Jones who made lace and taught lacemaking.
[ The present (2012) resident of “Chilterns” recently lent
me a fascinating package of deeds and this has led me to compile
a history of the property ownership, a little about the people
who lived there and some information about the rest of Little
Frieth, using the deeds and other available resources. |
