| Description |
The 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey Map (1836) names this house and shows its laid out gardens. The house was the home of the Singleton family, dating from about the mid-18th century. Lewis writes that the home of T. Singleton was ‘situated in a well wooded demesne of 200 acres’ while the Ordnance Survey Field Name Book refers to the ‘neat dwelling house and good office houses’ and that the demesne ‘contains a great deal of fine ash, elm and beech’. The buildings were valued at £60 in Griffith’s Valuation and Whitney Moutray was the occupant, holding from Thomas C. Singleton. Henry Abercrombie, land steward, and his wife were resident in 1901. In more recent times this building has undergone renovation. |
