The origin of this house is uncertain, but it has certainly been used as a farmhouse since the 19th Century.
It was originally thatched, but this was replaced with tiles after the roof was destroyed by fire.
When the road through the village became too busy and dangerous (it formed part of the main route from London to Dorchester until the A35 by-pass was opened in 1999) the dairy herd could no longer be taken across the road for milking and so another house was built over the hill on the road to Milborne.
This detached cottage has late 18th Century origins and was used as three cottages during the mid 19th Century and later as a farm or dairy house, probably for West farm.
Manor cottages were originally single storied, with dormers later added in the attics, with walls made from brick, rubble and bob and thatched roofs.
The Eastern part of the cottages is thought to be of 17th Century origin, with a Western part added in the 18th Century.
Until relatively recently, they were held by the Lord of the manor and leased to tenant farmers, finally being sold in 1953 by the then owner of Tolpuddle Manor House, Mrs. B. Thorpe.
Believed to date from the earlier part of the 19th Century (when it was called the Crown Inn – the name was changed in recent years to reflect the Village’s most famous inhabitants), the Martyrs themselves would doubtless have ‘supped Ale’ here.
The pub (renovated in November 2007) is now known locally for its restaurant, specialising in seafood and local produce - Martyrs Inn.
Thought to date from the 18th Century, this delightfully named cottage is currently one home, but originally it was divided into either two or three separate cottages (depending upon the time).
From early in the 20th Century until at least 1955 the cottage was used as Tea rooms (as can be seen in some old photographs / postcards - Pixies' cottage, 1955.
To ensure that the Tolpuddle Martyr's contribution to Trade Unionism is not forgotten, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in the UK holds a festival in their honour in mid -July each year in the grounds of the Museum.
The festival attracts as many as 10,000 people, and typically incorporates live music (Billy Bragg, the UK's foremost political singer / songwriter, has topped the bill for the last few years), speeches by Socialists from around the world (Tony Benn is a regular participant), stalls selling local & 'ethical' produce and children's entertainment. The events culminate with a march through the village by the representatives of various Trade Unions, accompanied by marching bands - Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival 2007.
There appears to have been a house on this site as far back as the late 17th Century.
Over time it has been occupied by Edward Barter, a Mercer, James Bullen, a Carpenter and Parish Clerk (1795) and from at least 1895 had become a Post Office with a village shop. It is now a private home.
