'Springfield'

Situation
On the west side of Woodgreen, Witney.

History
'Springfield' on Woodgreen was erected opposite 'Woodlands' as another home for the blanket making family of Early. James Vanner Early had it built in 1887 when his fifth child was expected and his first house had become too small. Along with 'Woodlands' and Newland House, the Earlys frequently used this house used for entertaining important clients who came to Witney to place orders for blankets [1].
