(end of cross through) | In 1861 and 1871, Thomas Heygate was probably living in what is now Vicarage Court in Park Road. This was then known as Hanslope House and was newly constructed, built on the site of an earlier building. In 1779, the site was owned by Stephen Hoddle, and in 1818 by Joseph Hindes.
See Robt Allen‘s house on page 6 for more on the Levers and the family member who illuminated his house. There are several Levers who were lace dealers, including Benjamin (d 1788). R. Alley may refer to Ram Alley, a street off High Street in Stoke Goldington. However, Stoke Goldington records hold no references to any Levers. |
