'Springfield' on Woodgreen was yet another home for the Early blanket making family. James Vanner Early had it built in 1887 as his family outgrew their former home.
This house, as well as Woodlands and Newland House, was frequently used for entertaining important clients who came to Witney. Many of the blanket makers were involved in the Temperance Movement and some clients, we are told, were disappointed to be served 'cyrax', a non-alcoholic alternative, instead of the expected cider!
Today Springfield houses offices of West Oxfordshire District Council.
