Sorry Pete but MartinR has it as the cottage that is on the Cooling Road / Main Road junction is actually the pictured cottage.
The one further down use to be identical .....they are not part of the Castle or even as "Estate cottages" where workers lived. But one of the workers for the Castle used to live in one of the cottages.
The "near water" was the moat of the castle.The Church is St James where "Pip`s brothers" lozenge tombs are supposeldy in the church yard.
The cottages were built equidistant either side of the Castle Gate House preventing the view from the South being impeded?
