1. Sweech House Marker
This building originally consisted of three, then four separate cottages. This one is the oldest and was a farmhouse dating from the 15th century. The name Sweech probably comes from Switch, or fork, where Gravel Hill and North Street divide in front of the house. In the late 19th and early 20th century this house was a newsagent and barber's shop.
The adjacent plaque describes its restoration.
