From about 1600 until 1750 the site was occupied by the OLD COCK INN, part of which is still standing. When purchased by the Rector of Teversal, who built the main part of the house, about 1770. The Rev. Thomas Hurt enlarged the building and in the early 19th century a Mr. John Miller, a farmer and molester acquired the house. His nephew, also called John Miller, recognised the potential of the property, with its large rooms and gardens. And in the Driectory of 1832 it is described as a “Ladies Boarding Establishment” and then in 1853 as “An Establishment for Young Ladies”. For an annual fee of 20 Guineas, the young women of the district could receive instruction on plain and ornamental needlework, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, composition, history, geography and French. Although the majority of the pupils were local girls, the prospectus was distributed as far as France where English Conversation was listed amoung the subjects taught. The opening of the Girls Grammar School at Mansfield led to the closure of Mrs Miller’s Academy for Young Ladies. On the death of the owner, a Mr. J. J. Miller, the house was left in the trust of the three daughters of the family. Faith, Hope and Charity, two of which never married and the third married at the age of 62. Hope lived alone in the large house for many years, but fell down the stairs at the age of 92, breaking her hip. So, the house was put up for sale, leaving only nephews and nieces to inherit the estate. After standing empty for 2 years, the building was purchased by the present owners Phillip and Christine Jordan in 1976, which they used the land to form a Market Garden enterprise, which developed into a Garden Centre in due course. After living in the house for 12 years, it was finally converted into the 13 bedroom modernised Guest House it is Today. Proprietors Philip and Christine Jordan
