Statement of Interest

Although the lying-pane glazing pattern suggests an earlier date, the house does not appear on the 1st edition OS map. It was presumably the manse for Rosewell Parish Church, built in 1874, and is stylistically similar to Castle View, on the other side of Rosewell built by Thomas Woods in 1879.
