The historic buildings of Orwell

A street map, and an Index map showing each historic building.

The map above was prepared by the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments to identify all the historic houses and other buildings which existed in Orwell in 1968. Most of these still survive, and a brief description of them will be found on the appropriate Street Walks pages on this site. Some of the houses also have their own detailed web pages here, and can be accessed by clicking on the name of the property if it is shown underlined.
