Spencer House

House on Holywell Hill, apparently originally dating from the 1840s and so presumably built following the demolition of Holywell House, home of Sarah Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough, which had been demolished in 1837 when the present route of Holywell Hill was created replacing the previous route behind the house, along Grove Road. Indeed, the 1879-80 1:500 map marks it as Holywell House, presumably in homage to its predecessor.
