High Hedgefield House

In 1828 the house was occupied by Ed Martinson, Parish Clerk, School Master and Overseer for the Parish of Stella. From 1880 to 1893, Monsignor Canon Thompson lived in the house. Up until 1911, John Robinson, manager of Addison, Stargate, Greenside and Emma Collieries, resided in the house. When he died the job was divided so that each pit had its own manager. Addison Colliery's manager, Harold Marmaduke Charles Bell lived at High Hedgefield {1}.
