stipenhoke
Stipenhoke cottages stand as a block of six cottages on Henfield Common North. I've often speculated on the origin of the name, and wondered recently whether it bore any relation to the Hundred of Tipnoak - sometimes spelled 'Typenoak". The cottages are Grade II listed and the listing describes the cottages as:
L-shaped block of cottages, of which the south wing is C17 or earlier timber-framed
building with plaster, brick and flint infilling, but the west wing is probably
C18 and faced with flints on ground floor and tile-hung above. Tiled roof. Casement
windows. Two storeys. Six windows facing south, six windows facing east.

Stipenhokes: This view from mid-July 2017 shows the back of the Stipenhokes from the footpath which runs from the Bowling Club along to Camellias. The wild grasses and flowers in the field create a golden carpet in the foreground.
