Former Blair Lodge

This late Victorian house known as Blair Lodge and later used as a hotel was taken over c.1930 to extend the adjoining St Teresa's Catholic school. It is now part of Minehead First School.

In 1901 it was the home of Dr Gordon Henry, admiralty surgeon and medical officer of health to the council, his wife Frances, daughter Dorothea, assistant, nurse, cook, parlourmaid, housemaid and groom.
