Welcome to Railston Cottage
Railston Cottage was originally built (circa 1820) by John Railston Esq. A local seed and grain merchant. It was originally built to store his horse drawn coach when not in use. The floor above the coach house, was, it is believed, to be where the coachman/gardener and his family lived. Converted to full accommodation in 1939 to billet troops during World War II. The house had not been upgraded in any major way since then, until the present day; 2009.
