The first mention of a house at 19 Castle Gate was in 1684 but the house that we see here today was built c1775 and gets it's name from a Mr. Stanford a very wealthy silk merchant. (The street to it's right is also named after him). This house is one of the most beautiful Georgian residences in the city, the Venetian window and the entrance below being of particular note. I understand that the recently restored interior of the building is equally fine and beautiful with many original features including Georgian fireplaces and Egyptian style columns. The building was purchased in 1928 by Robert Barber & Sons, solicitors who occupied the house until 2008. Earlier, there was the town house
on the site owned by the Howe family of Langar. Richard, Admiral Howe was
probably the most famous family member. On the 1st June 1794 he defeated
the French fleet off Brest. The Victory was subsequently
celebrated as "The Glorious First of June". |
