Agents Notes

"Dallimore's Hill, the old name for the present Weston Lane, came from the name of the clothier who owned the land and probably originally lived in the fulling mill where are now Montrose Cottages" "An old map marks the hill where is now Cedric Rd as Rack Hill which implies that it was the ground where fulled cloth was stretched on racks by means of tenter hooks to dry. This indicates that where are now Montrose Cottages was the mill. Probably in earlier centuries it had been the flour mill where the villagers had been obliged to take their grain to be ground as it was on the demesne land of the Abbey." (excerpts from "Two Thousand Years in Weston" by Joan Hargood-Ash). No4 is first listed as an individual home in 1935, although Nos1 and 2 were as early as 1895.
