Goring House, once the home of local author Stan Barstow, is virtually all that remains of an ambitious project by Batley Carr entrepreneur Mathew Wharton at the end of the 19th century, to develop part of 'Ossett Common' as a 'Little Harrogate' and develop the benefits of 'the Spa' waters. Goring House was built by John Tennant, who was a business associate of Mathew Wharton and a builder and property developer from Dewsbury. The lime trees, which still form avenues in Goring Park Avenue and adjoining roads, were planted in 1864 and, with Goring House, stand as a single memorial of Mathew Wharton's scheme to develop this part of Ossett as a 'little Harrogate'.
