The Cottage aka The Dower House




The Cottage 1920c

The Cottage was built on the north-east side of the estate, near to the Hitchin road. Today it is known as ‘The Dower House’.

 

Occupants of the Cottage:

Captain Thomas Darton

Ralston de Vins Pryor

Henry Anstruther (Lord of the Treasury)
1871
1891
1901
The sale to Major H. Pryor in 1874

Temple Dinsley was sold to Major Henry Pryor of Clifton, Beds. His sons, Ralston de Vins (RDV) and Geoffrey  Pryor (GIE) were later involved in the running of the estate and  collecting rents.

 

It is interesting that according to the 1871 census, Major Pryor’s household at Clifton included a visitor, William H. Darton, who was born at Kings Walden, Herts. Henry Pryor (31) and William (28) were serving as Captain and Lieutenant in the 7th Bedfordshire regiment. Two years later, Henry had purchased Temple Dinsley from William’s father,  Captain Thomas Darton.
