These enchanting cottages around a green were built c.1811 for retired employees of John Scandrett Harford, who owned Blaise Castle House. Each of the nine cottages has its own character. The hamlet was designed by John Nash, master of the Picturesque style. He had worked for Harford on other buildings. The cottages are now owned by the National Trust, but they are still occupied and not open to the public. Access is to the green only.
