Fydell House

Fydell House Fydell House is undoubtedly the grandest house in Boston, bought by Joseph Fydell in 1726. Joseph died in 1731.

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. Fydell was a mercer and trader of Boston and became mayor of the town three times. He stamped his brand or trademark on the rear of the building, making it Fydell House. Joseph's nephew Richard came int

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.

Here's a fun event for this Wednesday 19th: making a Fydell Garden clay plaque!

You can create a decorative clay plaque using natural plant materials. The plaque is finished with a blend of wildflower seeds so that, once placed in the garden, it gradually becomes a miniature wildflower display for pollinators.
