William Stretton

William Stretton (April 1755 - 12 March 1828) was a builder and architect based in Nottingham.

His death was announced in the Nottingham Journal “On Wednesday, the 12th inst, in the 73 rd year of his age, after a long and painful affliction, sustained with true Christian fortitude and resignation, William Stretton, Esq., of Lenton Priory.

Words would but faintly convey the deep grief which his irreparable loss has occasioned to those who knew his worth.

It has now been restored as part of a housing development, following the sale of the site by the Sisters of Nazareth.

During his residence at Lenton Mr. Stretton took an active interest in all public matters, and filled the several parish offices in an efficient manner.
