Information from (S1).
(S2) in file states the above reset pieces, plus tiles, fireplaces, fossils and minerals were collected by R. Gunther, an Oxford don, who used the building as a holiday home from 1904 to 1910 and collected them from demolition sites. This suggests (S1)s dating of late 19th century is a little early.

Unsourced book illustration in file states this was known as Park House, existed before 1882 and embellished by Gunther in 1899.
