Historical Significance
Spital-in-the-Street has deep historical roots, with its name originating from a medieval hospital that once stood in the area. Situated along Ermine Street, a major Roman road, the hamlet has long been a site of historical interest. The nearby Chapel of St Edmund, dating back to 1165, is a lasting testament to the area's medieval past.

Church Cottage itself embodies this history while offering modern comforts, making it a rare and unique opportunity to own a piece of English heritage.
