p. 253. “Originally a plain two storey early C19 house; Doric porch with coupled columns. The seat of Thomas Needham. Acquired mid-C19 by William Moran, who had made money in jute in Bengal, and who added two storey wings in a slightly Oriental style. Probably at the same time, the original block was given a balustraded roof parapet and pediments on console brackets over the ground floor windows. Sold ca 1900; now an old people’s home. At some period after the sale of the house by the Morans, the Hindu-Gothic decoration was removed from the wings.”
