In 2020, residents of the village erected a plaque on the cottage to commemorate Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) which reads 'Childhood home of the renowned Victorian artist, writer and illustrator of children's books who found inspiration from her annual visits to Rolleston'. In 2021, villagers also produced an illustrated map of 'The Kate Greenaway Trail'.
