Background

History

The house was built as a hunting lodge for Major-General William Henry Lowther following his retirement from the Bengal Army in the late 1870s. The house was acquired by C. J. Ferguson, an architect, who designed and commissioned additions in 1889. It became the retirement home of Barbara Dunn, the first British licensed radio operator, after the Second World War and then became the home of the Mallinson family in 1980.
