A half-timbered Cheshire Cottage with the date 1856 and the Batemans’ initials J&MB inscribed on the maroon plasterwork of the upper storey
A royal reference?
Could James Bateman have been making a nod here to the Swiss Cottage, built in 1853 for Queen Victoria’s nine children at her Italianate private home, Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight? Like many of Biddulph’s buildings, there was a considerable input from Edward Cooke, who made several drawings for it. Whatever its inspiration, the Cheshire Cottage is curiously English here amongst exotic conifers.
