Walpole House. One of a number of cottages gentrified in the 18th and 19th . Once known as Latchmoor House and then Belle Vue and named Walpole House in 1941. The resident in 1800 was William Beckwith and then had a succession of owners and tenants including the Duke’s agent and a major farmer as well as a retired ribbon manufacturer. In 1912 it was the home of Professor Brerton and then by author Edward O’Brien. In 1941 Jan Smit a Dutch diamond merchant renamed it after HMS Walpole which had rescued himself and his hoard of industrial diamonds in the Channel.
Old Vicarage. This was a farmhouse later renamed Latchmoor Cottage. Then when the Vicar moved in it was the Vicarage but since divided. In 1876 it was swapped as the Vicarage with Watercroft House and Latchmoor Cottage became the home of landscape artist Peter Graham who kept highland cattle. By 1900 portrait painter Frederick Cullen lived there and his family stayed until 1939.
Latchmoor House. Another old farmhouse with a early 19th posh façade. In the 1830s owned by Joseph Shackell and his family renamed it Latchmoor Cottage when next door became the Vicarage.There were various tenants in 1911 Arthur Saunders built an extension. When Walpole House was named by Jan Smit the residents here took over the name of Latchmoor House.
Waterside. Another small farmhouse rebuilt in the 19th as a posh residence by a John Kemp and called Latchmoor Villa. It was renamed Waterside in 1924
