FOOTE - Bladder Cottage, North Hill, Cornwall.

Tom and Dorrie Cook and family visit Mr Eric Holder, present owner of Blader Cottage, previously known as 'Bladder'. It was the home of the Dorrie's Couch family ancestors for generations. Ann Couch, who married William Foot in North Hill 18.10.1836 was described as "Ann Couch of Bladder". When her great-grandfather Richard Couch married in 1746 he was "Richard Couch of Bladder Cottage". The cottage acquired its name because pork bladders were sold from the adjacent farm. Eric Holder explained that the previous owner, 'a lady from up-country', changed the name from Bladder to Blader.
