Pullins Green

Number 10

Number 10 is one of the row of six old cottages facing the old smithy on Pullins Green.  In the photo above, it is the second cottage from the left.

We are not sure when they were built.  We have heard that they were built in the early 19th century for quarry workers.  We have not yet found any evidence to support this theory.  The cottages were listed in the 1840 Tithe Survey when they were owned by Daniel Burchell, a carpenter then living in St Mary Street.

Although the Tithe Survey lists the occupiers of the six houses in 1840, it does not make it clear who is living in each house.  The six people were: John Screen, Charles Owen Pearce, Mary Jackson, Mary Langobeare, Mary Olive and John Birt.   In many cases like this, we can link people to houses by using the 1841 census.  However in this case it is difficult to link the names in the census to any of these houses and none of the people listed in this census (or the 1851 census) are the same as those listed in the Tithe Survey.

We have also been unable to link any of the people listed in the 1851 and 1861 censuses to this house.

The first person we know to have occupied the house is therefore based on the 1871 census.
