THIS HOUSE WAS PROBABLY BUILT BY THOMAS
CORAM ABOUT 1699. CORAM CAME FROM ENGLAND
AND SET UP A SHIPYARD AT WHAT IS KNOWN AS
ZEBULON'S LANDING. AFTER TEN YEARS HE RETURNED
TO ENGLAND AND FOUNDED THE FOUNDLING HOS-
PITAL AT LONDON. LATER THE HOUSE WAS OWNED
BY CAPT ANTHONY
SHOVE, WHO SUPERINTENDED
THE BUILDING OF THE STEEPLE ON THE UNITARIAN
CHURCH. HIS SON, GEORGE, BUILT THE HANDSOME
LYRE FENCE. HE WAS A MAN OF LITERARY AND
ARTISTIC TASTE. HIS PAINTING ENTITLED "THE
LANDING OF THE NORSEMEN" MAY BE SEEN AT
