The Cherub Free House Higher Street Dartmouth The Cherub, the oldest and sole surviving medieval house in the ancient Borough of Dartmouth. Is believed to have been erected in or about the year 1380. Well and truely described as a rarity of outstanding character, it is of considerable interest in that it enables one to study, within a few yards of each other a typical wooden framed house of a townsman of the XIVth century with the larger and more ornate building of 1865, known as the Tudor House. The building, listed by the Department of the Environment as an extrememly rare West Country example, has numerous features of interest including the very unusual two-2 light windows on the 1st floor of the north wall. These are of a type not previousluy seen. The Cherub is a fully licensed Free house and everyone is cordially invited to enjoy the atmosphere and sample the hospitality of the delightful old building
