Judging by the 1851 Census route - Maple Cottages are down in what is today Tutshill / Bishton near Powder House Farm and Tutshill School and St Lukes Church - & Wirewoods House / Manor

Powder House Farm standing east of the road between Tutshill and Woodcroft was one of the farm-houses on the Tidenham manor estate in 1769 (fn. 56) and was a stone house with a thatched roof in 1813. (fn. 57) At least one cottage had been built on the common east of the road at Woodcroft by 1712, (fn. 58) and by 1815 there was a small settlement of six or seven cottages there. (fn. 59)

Club Cottages are also near here in the 1891 - in fact next to the School in Tutshill

number of male and female friendly societies were started in the parish in the 1830s and 1840s, (fn. 30) and there was a social club and institute at Tutshill by 1889
