This village in the Cotswolds is from the 17th century, according to a quick Google search, and those are "weavers' cottages".
Did it always look like this, or did it go through a process of neglect/decay and then was restored? I wouldn't think that the grime and soot of the Industrial Revolution reached the Cotswolds, did it? In my mind, that part of England always kept a Shire-like charm, was where the city folk went to "get away from it all".
