HISTORICAL NOTE: although now known as Rose Hill House,
reference to the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1886
shows this building without a name; the adjacent property
(demolished c1965)
to the south and east is identified as being Rose Hill House.
This changes on the 1940 revision of the 1928 O.S. map when
the subject of this description becomes identified as 'Rose
Hill'. The 1886 map shows what is currently Rose Hill House
with a plan very similar to what exists now.
