Cedar Green

Yew House, a large house built in the first half of the 17th century, and altered and extended through the years, stood where Cedar Green is today. North House and South House, which stand just to the south, were originally built as stables for Yew House in the 19th century. Two of the owners of Yew House were retired admirals. Admiral William Peere Williams had seen action in the Seven Years War and the War of American Independence in the 18th century; and Admiral Donat Henchy O’Brien fought in the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century. Yew House was demolished in 1962. Cedar Green was named for the large cedar tree which had stood in the grounds of Yew House.
