Listed Building record MDR16277 - 30, Bedehouse Lane, Cromford

A Grade II listed row of four two-storey cottages (formerly listed as three dwellings: Nos. 26, 28 and 30 Bedehouse Lane), probably dating to the early 19th century (shown on the 1841 Tithe Map). Built of very roughly coursed rubble with a stone slab roof to a plan derived from the 'Arkwright phase I' type: i.e. a single unit with services and side stairs against the party and end walls; two-bay front elevation, the entrance bay with no windows above the door, the other with a single-light window to the first floor, and a two-light mullioned window to the ground floor, all with stone surrounds. The doorways have massive lintels, and these and the windows survive intact with 20th century casements with glazing bars. To the rear (facing the Alms-houses [SMR9710]) there are four windows only, two possibly in their original openings. (1)
