| Baker's Cottage, Fovant Probably dating from 1600, the house is situated end on to the road on a long, narrow site steeply rising to the rear. There is said to have been a quarry on the top of the hill behind, and there is a possibility that the house was initially built for a quarry worker.
Originally 1½ storeys high, the roof was raised to two storeys in the early 19th century. The stair and front door were moved, the old loft window was blocked and a first floor fireplace was added.
Initially part of the Pembroke Estate, the cottage changed hands in the Estate sale of the 1840s. It appears to have been sold to James Lever. According to the 1840 Tithe map however, Charles George Mills was listed as the copyholder under the Pembroke Estate. Which came first the map or the sale? What is not in doubt is that the cottage was not part of the Pembroke Estate when it was sold in 1920 to the ancestor of the current owner.

Notes |
- It is presumed that the marriage of Charles Mills and Ann Phillips was never annulled, so the children of his association with Elisabeth Garrett kept their mother's surname.
There is no record of a marriage in the Fovant Parish Registers.
