Wednesday May 14 - Arlington Row

After checking into the Swan Hotel we visited this National Trust site down the road a piece. These iconic cottages were originally monastic wool barns in th 1200s. In the 17th century they were converted into weavers' homes. They are now individual homes and are the oldest residences in England. As one resident told us....there is a long waiting list and one must have "a background" to be considered a tenant.
