| Thomas Porter's brick house on the east side of Whittens Lane near the bend. It was built about 1860. Now demolished. DP0199 |
The house was demolished in the late 1920's and the stone moved to Holy Trinity to rebuild the old wooden chancel. However, sandstone often deteriorates when exposed to the weather and only a few pieces were suitable to be used to build the memorial gate posts.
