History of The Patches

A man in a cap and coat sits on a stool milking a white cow in a field, with two other cows grazing in the background.

The Patches, Wicken

The Patches was a cottage already derelict in the 1890s, set in meadows between Chapel and Drury Lanes.

A pill-box was built here in WWII; it was all ploughed under in the 1960s.

The photos are by Emma Aspland, the lady in the long dark dress in the photo.
