Built early 19th century as a farmworker's cottage it was occupied in 1841 by Thomas Chipper, his wife Mary and their 5 children. During the first part of the 20th century there was still a pond opposite.

Chipper famh 04/09/2019 09:16:42 By Chipper	My name is John Chipper from New Zealand. My ancestor was Thomas Morgan Chipper of Bristol. Was he related to Thomas Morgan Chipper who emigrated to Australia? If so how? There is a story to be told of this branch of the family. My son is the last surviving relative (after me) of this branch. I would love to Know of any connection.
