"LYNNGARTH,” STOCKTON-ON-FOREST, YORK - This house was erected for Captain W. A. Pearson in 1907. The plan is so arranged that practically all the rooms get the sun at some time of the day, and the living rooms overlook the gardens. The walls are of 3 in. thick local hand-made close kiln bricks, with wide joints, and the roofs are covered with thick hand-made sand-faced flat pantiles. The architect was Mr. Walter H. Brierley, F.S.A., F.R.I.B.A., of York, and the contractor was Mr. W. Bellerby, of York. The total cost of the house was about £1,300.
