The Old Thatch Cottage. One of the oldest houses in Hennock, part of Lower Town Farm and still thatched. It was a very large farm at one time and many years ago, part of Warmhill Farm. When the freehold of Warmhill came up for sale, Lower Town, which was included, consisted of a thatched dairy house with a yearling shed, manure house and poultry shed, a shippon, root house and three-stable stall. In the 1920's the thatched house was run as a Guest House. The bedroom doors upstairs are still numbered from 1 to 5. Ice cream was also sold from here and whenever it was ready, the farmer's wife would go outside and ring a hand-bell to let everyone know. Before the school was built, there were many more cottages and farm buildings on this site.
