Quorn Court
Quorn Court is now 26 High Street and has been turned into flats. It was originally built as a hunting box for the Duke of Devonshire in 1746, but has been much altered over the years. At the time this picture was taken, the house was occupied by John Davys Cradock and his servants. The people by the door (5 or 6 of them), would appear to be the servants. The women look as if they are wearing aprons and the men are in their shirt sleeves with their hands on their hips.
When John Cradock died, Quorn Court was purchased by Colonel Toller, who lived there until 1959.
