Pear Tree Cottage

Divorcee Emma House is a museum designer who moved to Pear Tree Cottage in Warwickshire two years ago. She loves interior design and has a passion for fabrics and quilting, so the house is designed immaculately. But there is still more to do. Dating the house has been guesswork so far, but estimates suggest it’s between 200 and 500 years old. Emma has made lots of little discoveries in the floorboards, including a little milk token from 1964 which has the name and address of the little boy who owned it and lived there. She would love to reunite it with the original owner. Initial work on the house has also revealed other small objects under the floor boards – from little toy soldiers, blacksmith nails and a tin of cigarettes dating back to an exhibition in 1894.
