Summary
One of a series of newspaper cuttings from various positions in Endcliffe Villa, all pertaining to Local History - other than Worksop. Two photographs of Blyth Almshouses and Old Hospital of St John the Evangelist published in the Worksop Guardian on 9th August 1963 (see entry J41). The entire page 9/10 has been retained but the photographs are likely to have been the subject of interest. 'OF INTEREST TO BLYTH' 'Here are two pictures of particular interest to Blyth. Above is the old Hospital of St. John the Evangelist which at the southern end of the village green, is , as stated in our last issue to be restored and converted into two flats for elderly people. The building, which dates from 1215 and is in simple Norman style, was for many years used as a school. It has close associations with the old Spital almshouses, shown below, which, them- selves a replacement of earlier almshouses, were demolished only this year. The restora- tion of the old building has the keen interest of the Vicar of Blyth (the Rev. P. V. R. Pennant) and Mrs. mayhew, wife of Major T. G. Mayhew, J.P., of Hodsock Priory.' '
