Early chalk and pencil drawing, Circa 1830’s – 1840’s, with Theodosia Hinckes?

‘This exciting, beautiful and unique piece of Gothic Victorian architecture was entirely vandalised in 1969 – demolished by the builders who constructed the estate that centres on Woodcote Road’, so commented the late John Raven in his book on Tettenhall.

The Woodhouse estate occupied a site bounded by Wood Road; Grange Road; Regis Road and Long Lake. It was assembled by the Hinckes family using a smaller and earlier house with its grounds; plus additional land acquired from the Wightwick Family; land from The Grange; parts of the enclosed Tettenhall Wood Common; and others: the total was approximately 91 acres and formed part of their total landholding of approximately 390 acres.
