Bridgegate House. This fine town house, with its six bay brick front laid in Flemish bond, dates from the mid-18th century and was built probably by Thomas Graver, an apothecary and surgeon. It became the home of the Spofforth family, a branch of which emigrated to Australia, where Frederick Spofforth, the "demon bowler", was the greatest figure in early Australian test cricket.
