John and Maryanne Brown had lived in this cottage, but
moved to Oak Tree Cottage at the same time
as George and Charlotte Gosling came to the east end of the cottage.
(Altogether there were three families here - how, we might wonder, did the
large Brown family cope in these cramped conditions ?)

Maltster William Bruce the younger lived here
with his wife Ellen (1829-1892). He was born in 1818 in Aldham, as
was his father William (born 1796). As well as his work at the maltings next to
the smithy of Daniel and John Claydon, he also worked in later years as a
farmer. Ellen
was a Gage, the daughter of Henry Martin and sister of Frederick at Jackdaws Ford.
Their daughter Ellen was born in Monks Eleigh. Their
son William, also a maltster, lived at Chestnut
Cottage across from the old maltings, together with his widowed
grandmother, Jane (née Farthing).
William died in 1900 aged 81. Together with his wife
and daughter, his memory is kept alive in the gravestones near the entrance to
the churchyard, on the left.

William Goymer (1813-1884) was the eldest of the three farm
labourer brothers still living in Chelsworth at this time, sons of John (died
1841) and Ann (Griggs), who lived from 1780 until 1861. William married Mary
Ann Smith (1821-1878) in 1855 but it appears that they had no children. She
was the daughter of James Smith of Boxford.

This was formerly the home of Joseph Farthing (born
in Chelsworth in 1827, the brother of James at the house we call "Listers" and his wife Hannah (née Jacobs, born in
Bildeston in 1834). But at the time of the survey they had just moved away from
the village, making way for George and Charlotte Gosling from Oak
Tree Cottage.
George, a gardener, was the sixth of ten children of
Thomas and Jane Gosling. Thomas (1800-1867) was also a gardener, and married
Jane Howell of Felsham (1801-1870) in 1824. He was the younger brother of Isaac
(1794-1869), and so George was the cousin of Isaac junior of Marshes. His mother Jane lived with them until her death
in this survey year of 1870.
Charlotte was born in 1841, three years after her husband,
and appears to have come from Newbury. The couple generally lived away
from Chelsworth - they had no children christened here, although in 1871 they
were caring for their nephew Charles, who was born here, the son of George’s
unmarried sister, Isabella - and they ended their lives in Leiston, where in
1881 they worked as gardener and cook.
