Hyde House Farm
The Springfield Mount estate was built by Laing's between 1929 and 1935 on the fields of Hyde House farm, which had been owned since the 1440's by All Souls' College, Oxford. The farm here had existed since at least Tudor times, but is probably most famous for being the place where the writer, Oliver Goldsmith, lodged for several years around 1770-73, and where he wrote the play "She Stoops to Conquer".
