Promised to get back to this!

Extracted from My Village 'Owd Codnor'

There were then only five houses on Denby Lane, Mr Pines, The vicarage and three more on the opposite side above the church. The top one was that of the curate, the Revd. George Mallet......Almost opposite the curate's house is a narrow road leading to Searson houses.......There were about half-a-dozen old houses her, built chiefly of stone, and thatched; and attached to my grandfather’s hose was his stockingers shop.'

The author refers to childhood memories from about 1864. As a child in the 1960's I lived in the house described here as the curate’s house. My family had lived there since approx 1935? When elderly neighbours were living in a neighbouring cottage and shared local knowledge from the past with my grandfather and father which backs this up.
