Coronation Villa
Coronation Villa
Coronation Villa is one of a pair of adjoining houses built in 1902 and named in recognition of the Coronation of Edward the Seventh in August of that year. They were built on land where two cottages previously stood, one of which was the post office where a Mr John Peacock lived. He sold to Samuel Thomas Hartley, a painter and plumber from Gargrave, who built the present houses. The land forming the garden was purchased from Walter Morrison in 1923
The house was bought in 1923 by James Bolland and on the death of Mary Ellen Bolland in 1941 it was sold to George Alderson of Kirkby Malham who rented it to a Mr Eastwood from Hull during the war years. Harry and Betty Bolland took over the tenancy in 1949 and purchased the property in 1982 after it had passed to Mr Alderson’s son on the death of Mr Alderson
