Spa House
The map shows this as 'Spa Villar', which must surely be a misprint. It may be 'Spa Villa' but it is shown as Spa House on the Hovingham Estate website and is advertised as a holiday rental. The building dates from 1835 and was built here due to its proximity to the spa well.

Spa Villa
Marked on map as Spa Villar. The discovery of mineral springs (the 1891 25 inch map gives them as Sulphur- Sodiac and Chalybete) and the advent of the railway gave rise to the vision of Hovingham becoming a Spa destination to rival Harrogate or Buxton; however Spa House and the Worsley Hotel in Hovingham was as far as the dream reached.

The remains of the spa pond at Hovingham Spa
This pond is bricked in and I believe is the failed Spa from the Victorian era.

Stone barn by Hovingham Spa
The barn is of limestone with a pantiled roof. The view is from a gate where there are warnings about the barn being an unsafe structure, but maybe part of the reason is to deter visitors from looking for the spa well, which appears to be a very small pond to the right of the camera position. What sort of mineral waters came to the surface here? An on line search has revealed nothing, whilst there is no smell of sulphur to indicate that mineral. A mystery to be solved.

Derelict Barn
Now standing on its own and looking rundown it was, on the 1891 25 inch map, one of several buildings arranged around a yard.
