The Cottage
A simple Victorian cottage. It stands in the tiny hamlet of Walderton in the Sussex
Weald. Since 1979 it has been unfit for habitation. But is it perhaps more important than it seems? Could the fireplace be 17th century? Are the beams the original timbers? For two years Chronicle followed the story of the cottage as it was dismantled, carefully investigated, restored, and re-erected in the Weald and Downland
Open Air Museum as a prime example of traditional English building.
