Description:

House on the site of Heywood Manor, part of the Morants' estate. It had been converted into two cottages, the remainder being used to rebuild Heywood Mill. Enlarged by Herbert George Alexander, son of Robert Henry Alexander of Alexanders banking and discount company, and his wife, the aunt of its owner, John Morant (a minor). The Alexanders joined the cottages together to make one symmetrical house. 1920s additions to the house were designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. The Alexanders lived there until Mrs Alexander's death in 1937, after which Mr Alexander moved to Westonbirt, Gloucestershire.
