Description
HER 2229.1.0
Four bay, two-storey cottages of late eighteenth century date on the western side of Church Green. Vernacular detailing includes brick mullion windows (possible later?), and a dog and tooth string course between the first and second storeys. The western end cottage was the location of an alehouse known as the "Pipe and Punchbowl" in the 18th and early 19th century. The earliest references to alehouses in Warburton occur in 1746 when Thomas Chantler and John Highfield had licences. Pipe and Punchbowl occupied by William Warburton (1733-1822) from c 1770 until his death. Its licence was withdrawn around 1851 (2)(3)(1). Now a terrace of residential cottages, the former alehouse is a positive contributor for its
local detailing, including its prominent gables and quality brickwork.
Identified as a Positive Contributor to the Warburton Village Conservation Area.
Statement of Significance
