Somerset / Re: Hillcott - can anyone pinpoint this house?
« on: Monday 06 May 24 14:59 BST (UK) »
By the 18th century the estate was divided between Clayhill and Little Clayhill. (fn. 172) In 1709 Clayhill was held by William Ruscombe, who by 1733 had been succeeded by Joseph (d. 1763). (fn. 173) Joseph's daughter Elizabeth married John Poole (d. 1792), and by 1826 their son the Revd. John Poole (d. 1857) was in possession. (fn. 174) John's nephew Gabriel Poole sold Clayhill to William Gooding (d. 1902) of Durleigh. (fn. 175) In 1916 Gooding's son William and other members of the family sold it to Harry Nation, who put it up for sale in 1943. (fn. 176) It was bought by the Irish family, owners in 1989.

Off Wiki.
Dockwray Square up bank to the west of the Fish Quay is centred upon a small park and was constructed in 1763 by Thomas Dockwray of Stamfordham in Northumberland. Wealthy ship owners given the opportunity to live away from the crowded riverside town were amongst the residents.
