B Group comprises Nos 9-30 The Green (inclusive Nos excluding 12, 16, 25 and 29), the former Free Church, Main Street (now a village hall) and Nos 29-33, 35, 39, 41, 43, 47, 36, 46 and 48 Main Street - see separate list entries. Dated 1774, this simple cottage forms part of a terrace fronting a large village green. Developed in the later 18th century, the rectangular plan green is lined with cottages on 3 sides and is enclosed by Main Street to the N. Swinton Cross - a classical column dated 1769, still stands in the centre (see separate entry). Individually, the houses lining The Green have retained some good, if varied detailing and thereby, a degree of architectural significance. As a group, they remain an interesting, and relatively rare example of an early planned village, comparable with the likes of Yetholm. In 1866, approximately a century after the replacement of "...a few miserable huts" with "...one spacious square, with a green in the middle" (STATISTICAL ACCOUNT, 1793), Rutherfurd referred to Swinton as a "...pleasant and important village."
