PROVENANCE
Tanwood is the centre dwelling in a row of four timber framed cottages built during the reign of King Charles I in the mid 1600s. The chimney is constructed of fine Tudor bricks laid on a mortar bed of clay and the walls are wattle and daub. Originally two homes for a sucession of labouring families, it is now the largest cottage in the terrace. Fo most of the 19th century, the cottages were owned by three generations of the Bull family. In 1838, William Benett and Joseph Mansfield, both farm labourers, paid £3 per annum as tenants. In living memory the cottages shared a white gate and simple cottage gardens of vegetables and an apple tree planted each side of an ash path to their front doors which stood side by side. Two members of the local community were born in the cottage, Doug Bland - b.1920 and David Donaghy b.1942.
Drinkstone has a population of 589 (2021 census), situated in a 2243 acre pastoral parish and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. All Saints’ Church dates from the 14th century with a tower added circa 1760. The village is home to two redundant windmills and 35 listed buildings, the majority being timber-framed houses, farmhouses and barns.
