IMAGE15-84 Copied January/February 1989 from Robena Hill’s photograph.
Mr & Mrs Bromhead, Low Street, Beckingham.
This cottage is now, in 1989, called Hoggard House.

HOGGARD HOUSE, LOW STREET, PREVIOUSLY THE OLD PLACE.
Perhaps named TAMBULAM in 1996.

1736 This map gives the homestead as no. 57 and of 1 acre.
This reference letter appears to be c. or e. so it probably belonged to either Roger or William Burton.

1777 The enclosure map gives it the no. 70 and the area 1 rood 8 perches. The owner was Edward Finningley. The homestead of J & W Hoggard was no. 91 opposite the present-day (1996) vicarage. Hoggards did not live at what has been called Hoggard House.

Some time later, i.e. after 1779, Richard Finningley became the owner of this homestead together with:-
No. 68 which had been Hoggard’s homestead, 2r, 37p
No. 69 which had been W. Ashton’s homestead, 2 roods, 36 perches
No. 71 which had been George Morton’s homestead, 1 rood, 10 perches
No. 72 which had been Hoggard’s Pingle homestead, 1 rood, 38 perches
together with other land and homesteads in other parts of the parish.

The homesteads nos. 69 and 71 have since disappeared, and no. 68 is now a separate property, once called Manor House, now rebuilt and called Aspley House.

Susan Finningley who Married John Bromhead on 18th October 1815, had two sisters; Elizabeth who married John Carr of Fenton, farmer on ???, and Sarah who married John Keyworth of Beckingham on 2nd June 1814. A John Keyworth owned the mill in 1777, but the above was a farmer of Sturton at the time of the wedding.

The will of Richard Finningley 1822 left his house etc., to his daughter Susan Bromhead. The marriage of John Bromhead to Susanna Finningley by licence on 18th October 1815 brought the property into the Bromhead family. A Charles Bromhead died 1889, see M.I. in churchyard; was probably their son.

George Bee said that circa 1895, the house was occupied by William Bromhead, assistant overseer, rates collector and retired teacher. He is also said to have been Clerk to the Parish Council which was formed in 1894 and in his younger days, a teacher at what was called the National School, although it was the property of the Church of England. He died, probably in the late 1920’s and his widow in the 1930’s. According to the census returns, William was born circa 1860.

The Bromheads were followed by John Searson. When he moved to India on behalf of Marshalls Tea Section, it was bought by S Gray a wholesale grocer of Gainsborough, who called it the Old Place. The Grays knocked down the barn and extended the house.

The next owner was John Walker, solicitor of Bawtry. Mr & Mrs Walker renamed it Hoggard House, although the Hoggards never lived there, but nearby. They again extended the house and built a squash court. It was probably they who opened up the house on the north side and closed the front entrance. Doors and windows were inserted into the north side which previously had none.

1994 Mr & Mrs Walker having bought a house in Norfolk have advertised Hoggard House for sale at an asking price of £250,000. We heard in August 1995 that the house had been sold, probably to someone called Herbert who is carrying out extensive repairs. 1996 – the house now occupied by Mr Robert and Mrs Joan Herbert who have renamed it Tambulam, an Australian word for the place to return to.

1995 – Mr Walker gave me the following:-
Account book of James Cross of Newlands Farm, Gringley, 1829 – 1947.
Retford Times 06/02/1880.
Sale catalogue 1805, land at Gringley, by Duke of Rutland.
Sale catalogue 1848, Earl Spencers Wiseton Herd, Short Horned Cattle.

The house appears to have been well built in two sections. There was a barn at the east end of the house but it does not, from photographs, appear to have been a threshing barn. There is or was a cheese press stone at the front of the house so the holding was probably grass with cattle and cows. It probably ceased to be a farm in Mr William Bromhead’s time. The 1885 ordnance survey map shows a pump at the front of the house opposite the out building that was probably a wash house and earth closet.

Roadside section of house:-
Handmade bricks in English Garden Bon, 5 stretchers to one header.
A three brick string course at first floor level.
Tumbled brickwork and 4.5 inch parapet at gable end.
Roof – pantiles.
A chimney stack is missing from east end of this main section.
The central staircase had been removed from the main part of the house and also the two walls of this staircase to make one large room. The a/m cheese press dated 1786 is said to bear the initials E.F. which are fairly certainly those of Edward Finningley.

The new owner, Mr Herbert, informs me that amongst the deeds relating to this property are papers relating to a dispute over the ownership of the homestead that occurred around the beginning of the 19th century. The claim was against the daughter and only child of the farmer owner by some of his other relatives on the grounds that the former owner was not properly married and that therefore, the daughter was illegitimate and not entitled to inherit. There are depositions from villagers relating to the case. Until Mr Herbert shows me the papers, it is not clear as to who are the people concerned but the case could relate to Susanna, the daughter of Richard Finningley, who was married by licence at Beckingham Church to John Bromhead on 18th October 1815. Was the questionable marriage, that of William Finningley to Elizabeth Audas at Beckingham on 16th December 1766? The baptismal date of Susanna is required: check with I.G.I. Susanna was baptized on 20th September 1795. The reason the marriage could not be proved was because it was at St Mary’s, Doncaster which burned down along with the parish records.

FINNINGLEY/BROMHEAD Addenda

31st July 1789 – Deed relating to cottage and croft on Bar Road, just north of Croft House homestead, lat in the occupation of Williamson Ryley, no. 115.
This states that no. 243, an ancient close called Gringley Grate Gap Close was in the occupation of William Finningley.

No. 156 Home Farm, High Street. On the Chapter of Southwell deeds, this homestead is referred to as Finningley in 1823. Pencilled notes on the rating lists for 1778 and later, indicate that Webster was the tenant, could William Finningley have been tenant prior to this?

Mr John Searson, who once lived at this house, said the buildings consisted of a barn at the east end of the house having an earthen floor, not upper floor and not threshing floor although there were wide opposing doors back to front. There was a cow house with standings fro four, a stable or loose box, and a piggery which was tumbledown and which he used to fill in the well which was situated near the back door of the house. In those days, most doors and windows were on the south side giving access onto the driveway. Opposite the back door of the house was a wash house and earth closet.

WILLIAM ASHTONS HOMESTEAD

In 1736 this was divided into two, no.58 being the homestead and no. 59 the home close. Neither gave access onto the back land, but both adjoined the Town Street, now Low Street. The joint acreage was given as 2 roods, 28 perches, not quite ¾ of one acre.

On the 1777 map the holding number is 69, and the acreage 0a. 2r. 36p. There was only the letter reference ‘d’ in 1736 to denote the owner, but it is William Ashton in 1777. By 1779, the ownership had changed to Richard Finningley who bought other nearby property.

William Ashton was allotted 2a. 0r. 6p. presumably in lieu of his rights of common. Richard Finningley is given as owner of a new close of that same acreage in the S. Marsh of the Common in 1779.

It is marked Common Armatage in the 1779 valuation; why Armatage is not clear but it does not seem to have much bearing on the Ashtons situation. Perhaps Armatage followed Ashton or Finningley.

All traces of the homestead have disappeared into the front garden of what is now (mistakenly) called Hoggard House. This probably happened in the time of Richard Finningley’s ownership of these properties.

SUNNY HOLME, LOW STREET

1736 This did not exist as a homestead, but was part of the land belonging to the homestead no. 102 on the map (1736). Roger Burtons. See also The Bungalow and Rose Cottage.

1777 This was now a homestead of 10 perches carved out of plot 102, numbered 101, and belonging to Robert Duckle.

It conformed to the usual style of end of the road, faces south, brick and pantile. Traces of tumbled brickwork can be seen where the original gable end was constructed, this indicates that it was built in the 18th century. The photograph shows that the cottage was most likely altered after 1920 judging by the car.

In 1891 and in George Bees’ notes, it was occupied by Mrs Atkinson, widow.

The registration number of the car on the opposite page appears to be LN4132.

In 1993 it is occupied by Mr & Mrs Kettlewell who have been there since the 1960’s. They supply daily newspapers in the 1990’s. They have sold the property May/Jun 1996.

Percy Proudley says Payne moved here when he retired. Norman Levick here after 1945. Payne moved here from South Wood Cottage on High Street.

Fred Gosling – Dick Payne lived here.

Philip Adams says that the cottage was always two storied but the bedrooms had dormer windows. The building was raised to its present height when Norman Levick lived there after the war, World War II. Old photographs show no dormer windows, instead there was a small gable end. See photograph of Hoggard House and Bromheads taken from the east.

Brickwork is now rendered but tumbled brickwork can be seen at the old gable level. An old photograph shows a 4.5” parapet and pantiles.

“Omo” Wright lived here in the 1960’s, with a Mrs Walsh. He worked for Parsons delivering coal. Owner was Braithwaight who had Beckingham Wood Farm for a few years after Mr Oswald Harrison left.

OLD COTTAGE NOW THE BUNGALOW, LOW STREET

1736 This was a homestead, no. 102 on the map, 2 acres in area, and owned by Roger Burton.

1777 This homestead is again coincidently no. 102 on the Enclosure map and owner by Roger Fretwell. The acreage had become 1a. 3r. 03p. The reduction perhaps being explained by the building of Sunny Holme in the north-east corner of the property. Rose Cottage was built on the south side of the plot at a later date, possibly in the early 19th century.

The ownership of this property passed to Richard Finningley of “Hoggard House” after Roger Fretwell.

Mr George Bee said Mr Denman, a shipyard worker lived here in circa 1895.

In the 1930’s the cottage was unoccupied and was, I was told, owned by Mr William Bromhead who cultivated the garden. When he died, his wife sold the property to Frank Adams who knocked down the cottage and used the bricks to build a bungalow in 1932. The Adams family were born here except for Douglas who was born at Teale Cottage whilst the bungalow was being built. An alternative report regarding the ownership is given in the next paragraph.

The above story is confirmed by Doug Adams.

Percy Proudley said Jim Clark was the last occupier of the cottage in the 1920’s after which it was an ivy clad unsafe house. Percy said the owner was Miss Abbott and it was she who sold it to Frank Adams who built the bungalow with the old brick.

Michael Proudley says that Hammond lived here in the circa 1950?

Mr & Mrs Peter Baines have been the owner occupiers since 1982.

COTTAGE ON LOW STREET, LATER ADAMS BUNGALOW

The enlarged post-card picture of Low Street appears to show the cottage that predated the bungalow built by Frank Adams. The 1885 map shows a building divided longitudinally which seems to be confirmed by the picture. The right-hand side facing the road had a door, a ground floor window and a bedroom window, and the gable end facing north had a 4.5 inch parapet. The southern section can only be guessed at but there are no openings on the road side and the pantiled roof turns the corner so that it could be aligned east-west with the south wall having a central door and four or five windows. This is as I remember the front part when shown round the garden as a boy; this part was not then inhabited but was said to be an unsafe ruin. I have found nothing to indicate that this was two dwellings, so the roadside door perhaps gave entry to the kitchen.

MANOR HOUSE, REBUILT AS ASPLEY HOUSE

In 1736 this homestead was no. 60 on the map, 2r. 32p. in extent. It was lettered ‘c’ which indicates Roger Burton as owner.

The 1777 Enclosure map gives it the no. 68 being 2 roods, 37 perches then belonging to J & W Hoggard. There are signs on this map that there was access through T Waterhouse’s close no. 65 to Hoggard’s Pringle no. 72.

1779 Some time after this date the property was acquired by Richard Finningley.

The property seems to have functioned as a small farm with up to 30 acres of land.

George Bee confirms that it was occupied by J Horey, farmer and milkman, circa 1895. With part of the house occupied by T Ledger. Mr Horey sold milk in Gainsborough, going his rounds ringing a small bell, as was the custom.

Oswald Harrison confirms J Horey was here. Percy Proudley says Mr Brough. Alwin Ingall says Milbourne & Manning. (Mr Milbourne lived in the cottage). Manning was a chimney sweep.

The cottage consisted of 2 rooms attached to the rear of the house.

Post World War II, it was owned by Smithsons and occupied by the Hughes family, with Mr Milbourne in the cottage or annex.

Around 1960, house and buildings were demolished and the site sold off. The house was rebuilt as Aspley House.

The Hughes lived in Wileman’s Villas before coming here.
