Ponsford House is a much older building than its plain front would suggest. In Napoleonic times it was the residence of Mr Ponsford, the local surgeon, who combined this with the role of Agent responsible for the French prisoners of War and Captain of the Moretonhampstead volunteers. It was his son, another Dr Ponsford, who was called to the White Hart to help the dying Jonathan May, the victim of the Jacob's Well Murder in 1835.
