It was instead inhabited by the Lamotte sisters, who commissioned the steeple and almshouse at Boyne Hill.
Group Value with the Street buildings across Boyn Hill Avenue: Church of All Saints (Grade I), the Vicarage Cottage, All Saints Cottage, the Parish Centre and No.1 Church Close (all Grade II*), and the former Infants School, the former almshouses, Girls School, and Vicarage Lodge (all Grade II).
