Friends of Fydell House

Friends of Fydell House We are a group of volunteers who purpose is to raise funds for Fydell House. Fydell was a mercer and trader of Boston and became mayor of the town three times.

Fydell House was originally built in the 1700s for the widow Mrs Lennox Jackson but was later passed down to grandson Samuel Jackson, who put it up for sale and was bought by Joseph Fydell in 1726. He stamped his brand or trademark on the rear of the building, making it Fydell House. Joseph died in 1731. Joseph's nephew Richard came into Boston and bought the house from Joseph's brother-in-law and

trustee John Browne in 1733. Richard built a wide reputation in the wine trade which was sustained by his son and heir Thomas. The house stayed in the ownership of the Fydell family until 1868. In 1945, Nottingham University became tenants and used the House as an Adult Education Centre until 2003. Upon their withdrawal a Limited Company was formed in order to keep the House open to the public.
