History Of Brunton House - The house has a rich history and was also the home of engineer and architect Edmund Sharpe who designed St Paul’s Church in Scotforth and was known as Lancaster’s Renaissance Man for his work in improving sanitation and clean water supplies in the city. In 1885, it was bought for £3,600 by The Royal Albert Institution to care for wealthy patients. At the time its grounds stretched beyond Sharpe’s Hill, now Newsham Road, and included croquet and tennis lawns.

In 1937, it was sold to a builder who separated the grounds for development and sold the building to a local architect who converted it into flats. The building still retains many of its original structural features including bay windows, an impressive staircase and the coat of arms of the Dalton family above the main door.
