No 2, Bowyers Cottages
Nos. 1 and 2 Bowyers Cottages have been formed from an original two-room, single-storey cottage dating from the early 1700s. In 1841, the original cottage was part of Boyers Farm and, in late Victorian times, was split into two; an extra floor was added to each, and new front doors were formed. The original brickwork is still visible. The Stansted/Wrotham parish boundary runs immediately to the south-west of the cottages, so 1 and 2 Bowyers Cottages are in Stansted.

The Horse and Groom
The Horse and Groom public house was originally erected in about 1770 and subsequently rebuilt during the late 1800s although the exact date is currently unknown. It was one of five long-standing pubs in Stansted parish which included the Vigo Inn, the Black Horse, the Anchor and Hope, and the Hook and Hatchet. The Horse and Groom finally closed in 2016 and has now been renovated as a detached residential property.
