Hello Anna, how lovely to have Henry Pearce Bolt as a gt.gt. grandfather!
All I know about him is, he not only built Hatherleigh in the 1850`s but he also built some of Newport`s finest buildings.
The Lyceum Theatre and the Queens hotel were built by him in the 1860`s as well.
I expect you know this lovely school was built as a house for him and named after his birthplace in Devon. After his death in 1884 aged 66yrs old it was sold to a Mr Sutcliff Ogden.
Henry Bolt is buried in St Woolos Cemetery.
Regards
Gwyn
