Fordington House - West front
Image: © Sarah Smith Taken: 18 Jun 2009
Fordington House was part of a marriage settlement in 1711. The house was much larger and has been altered several times since then. The house and its grounds used to be surrounded by a high stone wall and a drive sweeping in from Icen Way. The photograph is taken from near where the stables once stood. A Mr and Mrs Barnes used to run a riding stables here in the 1950's and 60's and the paddock that was situated in front of the west front (now Lancaster Road) is where riding lessons were given!
