TAKEN FROM THE 1901 CENSUS
The following is who I think was living where in the village
taken from information from the 1901 census.

We start at

The Villa occupied by Mrs Sarah Coates
Bank House was unoccupied
White House Cottages, they both had 4 rooms each and were occupied by the
Blanshard and Harrison families.

Broad Oak farm was another Daniels family.
We now move on to York road. There once stood 4 poor houses, in 1901 there were 3 houses.
One of them was called Gardeners cottage and was occupied by the Bell
family. The Watsons lived in one and the last one is called Saddlers cottage and is occupied
by the A J Coupland and his family. Arthur was a saddler
this is how it got its name.
We now are at

They also owned Elvington House which was recorded as occupied

occupied by the Wise family.
The 3 cottages that stand between Apricot cottage and Prospect house
