Bonington House
The latest book from ALHG focuses on the fascinating history of this Georgian House. It challenges long held assumptions about who commissioned the original contruction and who lived inside its walls. The emphasis is on the people who lived, worked, met and socialised in the house and not on the artist who's name it bears.
The second part of the book is cellar to attic, photographic and descriptive survey of the house giving an undoctored record of the building in its current state.
Available direct from the author (bonington2022@gmail.com), ALHG (alhgroupo@gmail.com) or at ALHG meetings/events. Price £10.

Hello Caitlin, we are not aware of any copies being available. It appears to have been a research paper from 1963. Sorry, we are unable to help.

I was born and brought up on Saville Road. Our house plot was believed to have been on the site of Arnot Hill House stables and kennels as my Dad was always digging up bones in the back garden.
Sandra, we contacted Bonington House about the trophy you refer to but unfortunately have been unable to locate it, if you could provide more information, we may be able to look into it further. Lynne
