The house is now divided into two dwellings. * Carpenters Cottage – An eighteenth-century timber-framed and plastered house possibly incorporating an earlier frame, with a thatched and tiled roof and central chimney stack. Formerly it was a public house from 1865 to 1925, known as "The Carpenters Arms". In the room which used to be the bar there are coins nailed to the underside of the timber beams. It was the custom of soldiers during the Great War to nail up coins in this way and to reclaim them upon their return. Alas many of the coins were not reclaimed reflecting the loss of 24 men from the village. It is not possible to provide a complete list of all the publicans (and residents) of the Swan or the verified dates when they took over or left the public house.
