Notes

  • 'Bole' in house name thought to refer to primitive furnaces for smelting lead at this site; wall probably built of stone from nearby Bole Hill quarry (gritstone?); wall may have been built when house built in late 1800s, but there was an earlier farmhouse on site of present garden; 2008: thick ivy covering bee boles now removed
