ABOUT JERICHO - PLANNING

Grantham gone

Building sold

Posted - May 14, 2011

The Council has agreed to sell Grantham House, for a sum assumed to be well above £3 million, to a private developer who will refurbish the interior to bring it up to current standards. While this will not create any social housing on the site it will generate funds that can be used to support social housing elsewhere in Jericho, possibly on the canalside site.

Did you know?

About the church bells?

Originally the Church only had the single ‘Barney’s Bell’. In 1890, when the clock was installed, it was decided to add a set of tubular bells to ring the chimes and the hour strike, as well as a tune or ‘carillon’. The are driven by an elaborate mechanical contraption.

Why Juxon Street?

Juxon Street is named after William Juxon, President of St John’s College from 1621-33.
