Mount Pleasant was the home of Samuel Broomhead Ward.
It was built by Francis Sitwell and purchased by S.B.Ward in 1794 when he was 24 years old. After SBW it was occupied by the Tillotson family and in 1874, after a brief period as an asylum, it became the Girls Charity School. Mount Pleasant still stands and is used in part as an Adult Education and Community Centre.
