Scope and content
The site is part of one of the College's ancient estates, the demesne of Mortimer's Manor, Newnham, which was given to the College by Anne Scroope in 1498 and enclosed in 1803. After enclosure, plots of land were let on building leases from 1820 onwards, which resulted in the building of a number of private villas, including Springfield. Springfield was originally built for J. Eaden, and brought back into College hands after the Second World War. The rear of the building was converted into the Mrs Cameron Day Nursery in 1998/9. The plans reflect the original construction of the building for private use and its subsequent alteration by the College.
