The name Norteland was in use in 1560. Northland Cottage is situated on the main London Road out of Tetbury. In 1841 it was called Northland Lodge and was inhabited by an agricultural labourer Thomas Still and his family. By 1851 John Large, another agricultural labourer was living there with his family. In 1861 there are two households there, with the name changed to cottage - had the original lodge been converted into two homesteads? John Large in one, and a widow, Charlotte Timings in the other, with her sisters Eloise (or Eliza?), Frances and sister in law, Harriet. The Large family were in possession of a cottage, and Mrs Timings a house, garden and land. The landlord was John Cook snr. John Large was still at the cottage in 1881. Charlottes' Timings father lived in Charlton Kings, which is where she and her sisters lived in 1851. By 1881 she and Frances were living in lodgings in Cheltenham and they both died there in 1886 (Frances aged 90) and 1891 (Charlotte aged 87). In 1897 Aubrey Paul Kitcat was living there - an apple named Northland Seedling was raised by AP Kitcat, Northland Cottage, Tetbury around 1930. |
