Two cottages stood on East Lenham Farm approximately 1km SE of the present Farm House. Just south of the 1884 railway and 100m E of the sewage works. They were demolished sometime in the 20th century. Brick and tile fragments indicate their position. A metal detectorist discovered a 10cm long iron key at that spot. They are marked on the 1841 tithe map. (1)
