Marked on the 1863 map as "Mid Ascog House". Thought at one time to have been a nunnery, the 1924 map labels the house "St Margaret's Home". According to G Stamp, Weir Schultz worked at St Margaret's during the late 19th century - it is assumed that the work carried out was internal. This modest house has retained some good details, including its timber sash and case windows, apex stacks and plain, painted margins. The lack of a base course, and the widely spaced, smaller 1st floor windows indicate that it dates from the early 19th century.
