Pinner Golf Course Club house. Pinner Hill House. Tooke lived here after his father acquired it in 1845. A house had stood here from the 17th. It has originally been built after 1617 by Christopher Clitherow, Lord Mayor in 1635. He had bought the site, called Spinnels, and built a grand country house. His son inherited but his grandson’s widow sold the property in the 1680s to Sir Bartholomew Shower who also died young and the house was sold. The present house has a brick garden front, and was probably built by dates Lady Jane Brydges, who lived here from 1755. The entrance side was embellished by Tooke in 1867 in a Gothic-cum-Italianate banded brown and cream brick. Octagonal kitchen. With 18th and 19th outbuildings. Listed
Boundary Wall Listed.
Ice-house. Built of brick with a domed top with a hole. Brick floor with slight fall to yard gulley in centre with a square perforated terra-cotta grating. The Tunnel entrance is just below ground level, and ran from a demolished building – probably a clock tower. The Tunnel had a door each end and one in the middle. The bricks in the dome are pink and appear to be early 1800's and resemble those in the rear wall of the stable. The dark red bricks on the outside are similar to those found in the east wall of the kitchen garden - now the car park. The lining is denser, pale red, Victorian bricks. The floor bricks are bright red. The drain gully is probably Victorian. The ice-house could have been built in the late Georgian period, suffered some deterioration and been relined in the Victorian period.
