Village Trust. Brick with French tile roof. Lobby-entry plan with living

passage flanked by half-glazed doors recessed in round arches. Pairs of

to the development of low cost housing in Britain. Experience gained and
practices introduced here were incorporated extensively into the Tudor
Walters Report of 1918 which was instrumental in the passing of the Addison
Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick influenced the Government Manual on
low cost housing which followed the Act. Sinclair A: Planning and Domestic
