‘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.
