Coutts house opposite the Sandon war memorial 1969. Constructed 1730 replacing an ancient two room cottage & originally named Sandon Farm. Following the closure of the old Dog in a Doublet ( now Erdeswicke’s House) on the 7th November 1870 the old Pack Horse Inn which stood on the present village green was renamed the Dog in a Doublet & in turn Sandon Farm became known as Dog Farm. Between the World Wars many of the estate farms held a competition annually for the most "tidy" farm where Dog Farm won on numerous occasions.
