| Description: | The original Spink House was built by Ralph Ellis of Midhope Hall in the early 1600s, and was occupied by Henry Hodgkinson a doctor and master of Bolsterstone School, who had married into the Ellis family. It was built as a kind of Dower house and it was there that the Catholic baptisms, of which the Society holds records, took place from 1809 to 1819. The middle house on the right in the photograph was built in 1833 with the farm house and buildings behind. The top house on the left and a carriage house were added in 1866/68 by John Grayson. There is an entrance to a tunnel which is supposed to lead to Bolsterstone somewhere in the farm buildings. The stable once housed twenty horses. This photograph was taken in Mrs Askews time. She was the widow of John Grayson and had married Elijah Askew. |
