It comes to market for only the second time in nearly 70 years. • The house dates from around 1783. The earliest recorded owner is Francis Rufford, MP for Worcester, and the family were rich with banking and industrial interests in Stourbridge. He sold the house in 1838 to Jonathan Lord Hobbs who set up a medical practice in the house, and is often mentioned amongst the Poor Law records for the village. His family sold the house and outbuildings, which included a Malthouse and Stables in 1863 and the house was subsequently divided around 1880. Part became a well-known Draper’s shop and part became a Church of England home for young girls. The Draper’s shop continued through to the 1940’s. In the late 1940’s the Holroyd family reunited the two halves of the house. The house was also featured in a BBC episode of the crime drama series Dalziel & Pascoe called ‘Secrets of the Dead’ in 2000. • It offers flexible accommodation with a host or original features including traditional fireplaces, high ceilings, sash windows, panelled doors and original solid wood flooring and flagstone flooring to the entrance hall and kitchen.

We are creatures of light, so it is an especial pleasure to be able to go out and enjoy the sunshine, wake up in daylight and delight in the gradual sunsets and long period of twilight that follows late into the evening. It is important to remember Jesus at this time of year, not just because Pentecost (Whit) and Trinity fall in June, but because his ministry was all about bringing light into dark places.

For a start, it’s the shortest month. So, by the time we’ve gotten to the end of the month, the year is well and truly up and running ……. And the days are getting noticeably a little bit longer….. the year is lightening up! Snowdrops, crocuses, catkins and pussy willows all start appearing. The garden and the lanes are waking up again. In the Church there is festival coming up ….and as the year develops, a Holy Cross pilgrimage….. This is the Feast of Candlemas on February 2nd. This celebration marks the formal end of the Nativity season, the end of Christmas and Epiphany. We have to take away all the Christmas tree and the crib. But not before lighting every candle we can find in the churches and making a great slash of light, symbolizing the light that Jesus Christ is in the world.
