Number 5 is a very unusual house. As the image above shows, one bedroom of number 5 is above the front door of number 7. We have heard that the two houses may have been one house at some time in the past. Certainly the appearance of the two houses is very similar to the front profile of either number 11 or 13. If it were true that the two houses were once combined then it would explain the strange arrangement of front doors, but we have not found any evidence of that.
We have not yet seen the deeds of the house so we do not know when the house was built. The earliest record we have found so far is the 1840 Tithe survey. This shows that the property was owned by Thomas Crossman (who also owned number 11 and 13) and that it was occupied by John Champion.
The Rate Books show that in 1876 the house was owned by George Danvers Crossman until 29th February 1894 when it was put up for auction. It was bought by William Wall for £230. It appears that William didn't keep it for long as the 1899 Rate Book shows it was then owned by Alfred Burchell who had been living in the house for many years as a tenant at £10 per annum. When he died in 1905 the house passed to his daughter, Sarah Riddle. By 1910 it was owned by John Burchell.
