THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
John Sullivan Wells built this unique structure between 1835 and 1840, bringing granite from Northumberland to construct his home. Shortly after it was completed, Wells was called to Exeter to become Attorney General, and the house was sold to the Hopkinson family. Today the house is a working farm and reflects Lancaster's deeply rooted farming history.
