61 - 77 Holywell Hill
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 24 Jul 2020
Mid 19th Century terraced houses 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 along Grove Road. Although not now formally used, this stretch of Holywell Hill is shown on older maps as Spencer Place, presumably in commemoration of the Spencer family of which the Duchess was part.
