John White Close

John White was Mayor of Higham Ferrers for two years, including Coronation Year. In 1952 he was made a Freeman of the Borough and his portrait was hung in the Town Hall.

A lasting reminder of John White is the complex of old-people's bungalows, which he had designed by Sir Albert Richardson, and built in 1951 on the piece of land facing the headquarters. The housing is under the care of a board of Trustees.
