This terrace seems to have been built on the remains of a farmhouse which stood approximately in the middle of the row. All that remains of this farmhouse is a stone wall backing onto Chapel House garden. The rest of the structure is brick. The terrace seems to have been constructed over a period. The two dwellings nearest Gold Street were probably added about 1900/1901.
The dwelling nearest Gold Street is known as 47 Gold Street. The rest are called Yew Tree Terrace. |

From the Church tower in 1957. The foreground is the roof of the Swan Inn. The road just visible in the bottom left and right of the photograph is Gold Street. Yew Tree Terrace is the group of houses on the far side of the road emerging from behind the roof of the Swan. The low buildings above and to the right of the roof of the Swan are the outbuildings of Yew Tree Terrace. |

The cottage nearest Gold Street (called 47 Gold Street) is not shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1900. However, it appears to have been occupied at the time of the 1901 census, as shown by list of people identified with the building (see People tab). This advertisement indicates that 47 Gold Street was at an advanced stage of construction when Yew Tree cottages were sold in July 1900. The memorandum of sale signed on the day of the sale indicates that Yew Tree cottages were purchased by Frederick Tomkins for �405. The seller was The Wolverton (Bucks) Permanent Benefit Building Society, suggesting that the previous owner may have been in difficulty funding completion of construction. |

From a map of 1818. The building numbered 240 is believed to have become the middle cottage Yew Tree Terrace. In 1818 this house was owned by Thomas Hindes. It is believed that a few years earlier he had given the land for the Baptists Chapel which is shown as number 239 on this map. At that time the area behind these buildings was known as Dennis's Close, and was also owned by Thomas Hindes. The pond that still exists today is clearly visible in the centre of the map, and is recorded as a Moat in the survey particulars accompanying the map. |
