The lych gate and the 18th or early 19th century roadside wall are Grade II listed.

North Cottage

Withers

Grade II listed fifteenth century timber-framed building, probably a hall house, once housing the village laundry. According to the Historic England listing, the front has a hung-tile first floor while the rear shows exposed framing with plaster infill, so the side facing the path must be the rear. The ground floor of red bricks is nineteenth century infill; the pattern of blue headers (the ends of the bricks are exposed) is known as diapering.
