History Of The House - History has a way of pulling threads together and creating a commonality between seemingly veryunconnected individuals and places.
So, what could be the connection, between the elder sister of worlds, probably most famous nurse and a 1970’s bass player in the band “White Plains”?
Number 10 Leas Avenue is the significant thread between the two.
The story goes that the now world famous and beloved Florence Nightingale had been made a proposal of marriage by widower Sir Harry Verney which she refused. The spurned suitor then wrote to her, addressing his letter simply “To Miss Nightingale ” and it was in fact the elder sister Parthenope who opened the letter, and believing it to be for her. . . eagerly accepted the offer. They were married in 1858. Florence as we know had other things to do!
As a “brother in law”, Sir Harry Verney was a frequent visitor to Florence and supported many of her ventures.
On 29th August 1874, Sir Harry and Lady Parthenope Verney philanthropically granted a piece of land at Pleasley to the Revered Ravenscroft Stewart. This parcel of land was to build a school for the children of Pleasley .The original building is now known as “The Old School House” with numbers 8 and 10 Leas Avenue having been converted to dwellings.
This is now where the bass player Martyn Marritt comes in . . Being one of the leaders of the 1970’s band “White Plains” he began converting number 10 in 1997. To say it was a “labour of love” is probably an understatement. He shared with the world a creative and artistic passion for the beautiful and the perfect. He wanted to restore and reimagine number 10 without losing the soul of the place. Martyn’s love of quality antiques and authenticity is now evident in every room, where fittings and décor have been hand crafted to bring out the heart and spirit of the building. The garden has been cared for, nurtured into wildness and welcomes nature and the elements without seeking to tame it.

Now, it is time for the next phase of history to begin at number 10 Leas Avenue…
