The mantelpiece at 31, Church Street, Ross

There is a mantelpiece in a room through the shop and dining room of Bakery 31 that I had heard was carved by Dan Herbert. But was it?

I scrabbled around its base and under the shelf hoping for a signature but could not find one.

In the Ross village interactive map, it is stated that the house originally belonged to Robert Standaloft.

Dan Herbert’s cottage, perhaps

I think, the low-lintelled cottage that I had visited was that one, still standing on the far end of the block, possibly built by Dan in conjunction with his workshop. Perhaps it was a quiet place to be after arguments about the money. He would have built a workshop because he was a monumental mason.
