Rippon Lea Estate
Built for Frederick Sargood, and named after his mother's maiden name, Rippon, with "lea" being an English word for meadow.
The style of the house has been described as "polychromatic romanesque" and the architect, Joseph Reed, was said to have been inspired by the architecture of the Lombardy region of northern Italy.
