Pathfinder Cottage

Half way along Blackwell End, on the right as the road bends left, is a stile leading to footpaths across the fields to Moor End, Yardley Gobion, the church and the playing field. Next to it is the entrance of a long drive, leading to a stone and thatch house now called Pathfinder Cottage, renamed after the Second World War by its owner, who was in the RAF Pathfinder Squadron. 

​

Located among the fields and away from the rest of the village, this thatched cottage dates from the 17th century and was formerly known as the Pest House, thought to be where sick villagers used to be placed in isolation.
