Nest Cottage

Nest Cottage was a house in the small village of Hexford in Sussex which was owned by the Fourth Doctor.

By one account, it was called Baker's End, (PROSE: Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary) whose occupant was Tom Baker. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion, The Story of Fester Cat)

History
Mrs Fenella Wibbsey stayed there as his housekeeper. In the early 21st century, Mike Yates visited it where the Doctor told him about how he fought the Hornets as they tried to invade Earth. He kept his collection of stuffed animals in the cottage. (AUDIO: The Stuff of Nightmares, The Dead Shoes)

Mrs Wibbsey was unhappy to leave her duties there when she went to travel with the Doctor. (AUDIO: The Relics of Time)

Two years after Hexford was transported to space, (AUDIO: Survivors in Space) Tom Baker left, leaving dutiful Fenella to care for the cottage in his absence. During this time, Fenella slept in the attic. That Christmas, Fenella was visited by a robot dog sent by Baker, and on Christmas Day, he returned to them in his space machine.
