Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was both parson and squire of Lew Trenchard from
1881 until his death. He financed and designed a number of new houses in the parish
and considered the rebuilding of some of the old cottages a duty. He acted as his
own architect and used local materials and local craftsmen. Wye cottages are very
unaltered and the best of Baring-Gould's cottages in the parish.
