The master was paid \u00a332 plus an allowance for coals. Later scholars were increased to 50, masters\u2019s salary also \u00a350. Later the schoolroom fell down and the church vestry was used. Mr. Thomas Hodgson was the school master.<\/p>\n
Oswald House Plot extends all the way back to what is now printing office lane. It is numbered 55. The foot print of the house is not the same as in the subsequent maps.<\/p>\n
The survey describes the property as \u201cA dwelling house, barn & garden adjoining Marmaduke Scutts having no right of common.\u201d
\nThe owner is Richard Somersby, who also owned another property in Crowle as well as a couple of parcels of lands on the moors.

Property Deeds<\/h2>\n
The current owner, Ron Stewart, is fortunate in that a previous occupant of the house sent him the original deeds for the house and from these it has been possible to build up a fairly complete history of the house.
\nThe earliest deed is an indenture dated 24th May 1877 recording the sales of the property by Sarah Ann Maw of Oxton, widow, to Frederick Sale of Crowle, butcher This document includes a schedule of earlier documents \u2013 the earliest being 20th March 1839. This refers to a Marriage Settlement between Sarah Ann Peacock (1) Henry Lister Maw (2) and William Godfrey and Francis Wharton (3)<\/p>\n

1800<\/h1>\nPeacock Family – Cornelius<\/h2>\n
It would appear that from at least 1800 the Peacock family owned both Oswald House and The Hall (1 Church Street)<\/p>\n
Cornelius Peacock was born in 1733, the son of Thomas and Sarah Peacock of Scotter.<\/p>\n
‘Corney’, as he was called, lived at Tetley in a large farmhouse surrounded by Trees. He was a hemp and flax merchant and appears to have had a warehouse at Gainsborough.<\/p>\n
The National Archives has the copy of a tender from Cornelius Peacock, of Crowle and Thomas Brumby (nephew), of Retford bidding to supply 250 tonnes of British Hemp to be delivered to the British Navy at Woowich in the years 1765 and 1766. The total value of the tender is \u00a38,900 (probably equivalent to about \u00a315,000,000 today)<\/p>\n
Cornelius Peacock died in 1812.<\/p>\n
He was buried in the church graveyard. A distant relative described visiting the tomb in 1939;<\/p>\n
In the south west corner of the churchyard within an iron railing, much overgrown with elder bushes, are two altar style gravestones. Both are in good condition and on the top slab of one is the following inscription:-<\/p>\n
\u201cSacred to the memory of Cornelius Peacock, merchant, who died on the 21st June 1812 in the 79th year of his age.<\/p>\n
A great benefactor to the labouring poor of this place this tribute at the shrine of departed worth is dedicated by his only son Thomas Peacock.<\/p>\n
Sacred to the memory of Sarah the wife of Cornelius Peacock who died on the 1st of September 1804 aged 64 years\u201d<\/p>\n
The other tomb within the railing is that of his only son Thomas Peacock<\/p>\n
Peacock Family – Thomas<\/h2>\n
Thomas Peacock the only child of Cornelius and Sarah was born in 1763.
\nHe married Sarah Marsden with whom he had three children, Cornelius, Sarah Ann and Thomas,<\/p>\n
The Crowle Peacocks had frequent and regular business connections with their Northorpe cousins. Thomas visited Northorpe and at times went shooting with Edward Shaw Peacock and their mutual friend Achdeacon Stonehouse, the historian of the Isle of Axholme. On one of his notebooks now preserved at the John Rylands Libray in Manchester he describes Thomas Peacock;
\n\u201cThis gentleman was an extraordinary character. He was kept in a state of pupilage by his father until he had attained mature age, when he became heir to a considerable property. He was what we generally term rather soft, which defect was greatly increased by his manner of speaking. He repeated the same words over and over again. He took care however, to take care of his main chance and would sometimes exert himself with a vigour of understanding which astonished those who thought they could impose on him.\u201d
\n\u201cAnother story related of him was, that on crossing the Trent by the ferry, he let his wife and gig go over, and then made them come back, being afraid. He had however, some very good traits in his character, and was always ready to help an industrious man with his heavy purse. There were many who laughed at his weaknesses who did not practice his virtues.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas died in 1827, though his will was written 5 years before in 1822<\/p>\n

And of Thomas Peacock, son of Thomas and Sarah Peacock, who departed this life on the 1st January 1826 aged 8 years. This tablet is erected as a tribute of affection by the surviving widow.<\/p>\n
Peacock Family \u2013 Cornelius (2)<\/h2>\n
Cornelius was the son of Thomas and Sarah peacock
\nHe was born about 1816
\nHe died on 15th January 1840 at the age of 24.<\/p>\n
Peacock Family \u2013 Sarah Ann<\/h2>\n
Sarah Ann was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah and sister to Cornelius and Thomas<\/p>\n
She was born in 16 November 1816<\/p>\n
Her younger brother Thomas died at the age of 8 in 1826. She was only 11 when her father Thomas died and 17 when her mother Sarah died.<\/p>\n
She married Henry Lister Maw of Tetley Hall on 21st March 1839 at the age of 22 \u2013 he was 15 years older than her. The wedding witnesses included her brother Cornelius and Henry’s mother Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
Henry Lister Maw entered Naval service on 11th May 1818 and was for sometime midshipman of the Liffey. He saw action in Rangoon and was rewarded with a Lieutenants Commission, He had returned home in 1824 having been injured in the head. Subsequent naval appointments took him to South America where he is remembered for his passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean, crossing the Andes, in the northern provinces of Peru and descending the Amazon River \u2013 the journey is described in his book published in 1829. For this he received Silver Medal from the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture & Commerce in 1830. He left naval service in 1834.<\/p>\n
Henry inherited Tetley Hall, on the death of his father, John Henry, in 1826. Tetley, had been left by George Stovin to his eldest daughter Elizabeth in 1797, who married John Henry Maw in 1800. The main range of Tetley Hall was built by Henry Lister Maw between 1829 and 1839<\/p>\n
Marriage settlement<\/p>\n
A year later her brother died at the age of 24. As he had not married she inherited the entire family estate,<\/p>\n
After the death of her brother and her marriage to Henry Lister Maw, Sarah Ann would have no need for the properties on Church Street and it is apparent that they rented the properties out.<\/p>\n
Rented \u2013 1840 – 1877<\/h2>\nHenry & Phillias Ellis<\/h3>\n
Brothers Henry & Phillias Ellis, both surgeons moved into The Hall and Oswald House. Henry appears to have been the resident of Oswald House, although it may be they used the two properties as one and that Oswald House was used by the Groom.<\/p>\n
Henry William Thomas Ellis was born in 1811 in Zante in the Ionian Islands in Greece
\nPhineas Samuel Ellis was born in 1814 in Guernsey in the Channel Islands<\/p>\n
Their father was Phineas Ellis and served in the Royal Sussex Regiment.
\nHenry and Phineas are both listed as living in Crowle in the 1841 census and possibly were already living in Oswald House \u2013 although this is not definitive.<\/p>\n
Both described themselves as Surgeons and were effectively the GPs for Crowle.<\/p>\n
In the 1861 Census \u2013 Henry and his Family appear to be living in Oswald House, whilst Phineas and his family are living in The Hall.<\/p>\n
In the 1871 Census it would appear that Henry and his Family are living in the Hall \u2013 Phineas and hs family appear to have moved to a house near the market place.<\/p>\n
By the time of the 1881 Census Henry William and his family had moved to the Manor House in Crowle.<\/p>\n
Henry is listed as the Medical Officer of Crowle District, Thorne Union of the 1885 Kelly’s directory.<\/p>\n
