Added by Pat Marsden
No 2 East Street and Nonsuch House, Black Buoy Hill (formerly No 1 East Street), are Included on the Historic England list of Listed Buildings as Grade II [List Entry No 122523]. They are described as a C17 range, fronted on the north by a later range one bay deep, in East Street. This north frontage is of red brick in Flemish-bond with a slated ridge and gabled roof. There is a row of 6 small panel sashes on the first storey under the eaves. The ground floor east has one plain door and a fixed 16 pane window on the left under a straight arch. There is a shop-front on the ground storey with 4 fluted wooden pilasters and patera at the crossings of its hood. Two plain doors centrally and 2 small-paned sashes.
We can’t be sure where the name for Nonsuch House came from although as so often in Wivenhoe it may have been named after a boat, possibly the Nonsuch (built by Roger Page in 1650) which sailed to Hudson’s Bay (Canada) in 1668–9.
We haven’t yet come across copies of early deeds but we have transcribed copies of deeds relating to 1875-1971 and found a couple of plans attached to these which show the outline of the parcel and an additional plot of garden which was added to the original parcel in 1949.
You can see a summary of the deeds here and two transcribed deeds are available as a download below.
