Abstract: |
Wren Cottage lies within the village envelope of East Bergholt approximately 200 metres NNW of St Mary's church. The house is listed at grade II, and consists of an 18th century front range with a single-storied kitchen wing of the late-17th century to the rear. The property's deeds suggest it was formerly the parish workhouse. The kitchen wing and extensive rear garden (then a meadow owned by the artist's father) are shown in a Constable painting of 1815 along with two thatched buildings forming a stackyard. These structures were replaced in or around 1853 by the present outbuilding, when the ground was purchased by the owner of Wren Cottage - an affluent tradesman. |
