Garth House

This is a candidate location for Garth House. I haven't yet shown it to be right.

It's now called Clover Cottage, but I think this might be a more recent name. The order of the buildings listed in the schedules of census returns is presumably the order the enumerator visited the properties on his route. This puts Garth House in this general area.

Garth means fold or enclosure close to a house, sometimes just a grassy square but also larger enclosures. Looking at the field pattern on arial photos and maps, you can see what might be ancient enclosures which are subdivided into fields. My Garth House candidate is right on the point where two 'garths' abut each other.
