The pretty village of Upton Magna, with its chocolate-box cottages and smart, well-regarded pub is home to the oldest complete cottage in Europe. Grade II-listed Cruck Cottage has a thatched roofed and timber frame construction and can be found near to the church. It's thought to date from the 15th or 16th century; however, the crucks (timber frames) in the cottage have been dated to 1269.
