William Clayton bought the Endon estate, which included the quarries, from the Wettons, who were local quarry owners and stone merchants. Prior to 1875, Clayton initially called the property Endon House (not Hall) click on the map below. He built the house together with Turret Cottages and Clayton`s Tower on Windmill Lane, which was then called Township Road. The tower appears to have been built as a folly, no practical use having been found for it. Find further information on the Kerridge page. |
