This house built c.1878 on former farmland has had many interesting residents, including one of the first women to serve as a County Councillor in the early 20th century. She was remarkable also for her views on the Suffragettes who she felt had done untold harm to the cause of women in public life. The first resident was a Baptist minister and another helped develop the railways in China. After the Second World War the house was converted into flats - many people connected with the arts subsequently lived here, such as theatre director Peter Zadek, violinist and writer Herbert Whone, and military historian and entrepreneur Peter Elstob.
