He was also paid a similar amount by Earl Spencer and the Paget family. It was while working for the Paget family over a disputed copper mine in Anglesey that Harrison made a great deal of money - about £20,000 by my estimate. He was thus easily able to afford to build Wolverton House.<br />I think it was practically a new build. There may have been a property on the site but it was always intended as a grander construction. After the demolition of the Longueville house at Wolverton c 1720, Wolverton House became the only house of significance the district.<br />Bryan Dunleavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550652628913169630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561249004966522983.post-28662171097861958792023-01-26T18:13:34.566+00:002023-01-26T18:13:34.566+00:00Dr Habgood delivered me.
