Thanks everyone for the additional info.
I now have Ms Stirling Stuart's Will which doesn't say anything very useful - just that she leaves her entire estate to her niece Mrs Helen Constance Stuart Stevenson with no information about what this might comprise of such as the house.
She also leaves some small bequests - £100 to her lady's maid Elizabeth Potter and £50 to Arthur Johnson "if still in my service at the time of my death".
Re the names Tickford Lodge and St Margaret's 80 Tickford Street - 80 Tickford Street was known as Tickford Lodge when Mr Bullard lived there. When he moved to other premises in Tickford Street he took the name Tickford Lodge with him to his new home and so 80 Tickford Street was renamed St Margaret's.
Amazing what social and local history an entry on a census can lead to.
