Church Cottage

Church Cottage in the village of Tutshill, Gloucestershire, England, is a Grade II listed building, thought to have been designed by the architect Henry Woodyer. It was the childhood home, between the ages of 9 and 18, of Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series of fantasy books.

The building was constructed in about 1852 in the Victorian Gothic style, and was originally used as a schoolhouse and then a rectory. Henry Woodyer designed the adjoining St. Luke's Church, and English Heritage regard him as "possibly" the designer of the cottage as well. The 1+1⁄2-storey building is of sandstone, with a tiled roof, two-light chamfered mullioned casements, small gablets and a porch. In 1988 it was listed, Grade II, as being of "Special Architectural or Historic Interest" by English Heritage, who reported its external appearance as "untouched from its original design".
