Fydell House 0247

            Fydell House, Boston. Built as a home for the Jackson family around 1700 (design attributed to William Sands), the house was sold to Joseph Fydell (a wealthy merchant) in 1726 and was renamed. It remained the home of the family until 1816, when it was leased to tenants. In 1935, it came close to demolition when a Birmingham consortium were planning a housing development on the site. The loss of the ‘grandest house in town’ so alarmed the Vicar of Boston, Canon A.M. Cook and others, that they launched an appeal to buy it. The outcome not only resulted in the house being saved, but in the creation of the Boston Preservation Trust, a limited company, whose aim to save other historic buildings in the town and bring them back into meaningful use continues. Grade 1 listed.
