5. The Mount

The deeds of 1826 refer to one house. However, in 1877 the building consisted of a messuage (a dwelling house with outbuildings and land assigned to its use) and six cottages adjoining, three of which had previously been occupied by William Bird and run as a public house. It was probably these three cottages that were converted and renamed "The Mount" by Albert Roberts in 1892.

Local tradition has it that a Mormon Mission visited Deanshanger in the latter part of the century and held meetings in one of the cottages, which now form part of The Mount. Several local persons are reputed to have emigrated to America to join the sect in Salt Lake City and Deanshanger names live on in this city.
