Church Cottage
Church Cottage is adjacent to St Marys Church and is thought to be the oldest house in Stansted. It would have been used by the priest visiting from Wrotham, to which Stansted was then a subordinate parish. The property dates back to the 14th century with later alterations, the majority of which are 18th century. It was extended significantly to the south in 1974 and was Grade II listed in 1984. Prior to 1900, it had been occupied as two tenements for many years by poor parishioners rent-free.
