History
The house was designed by Ignatius Bonomi for Bryan John Salvin and completed in 1834.

The building was acquired from the Society by Mrs Audrey Alliston in 1995 and the restoration of the main house and the redevelopment of the area to the rear, by Jane Darbyshire Associates, won the City Trust's annual award, for the sympathetic style of the work in 1998.
