With the arrival of Alfred Hummell in the 1870's, the social life of Doncaster found an exciting leader. Hummell was a tall, handsome Englishman in his forties, with a considerable private fortune. He had a flair for things spectacular, and at first enjoyed being the most sought after man in the district. He married Jane, the elder sister of Edwin and Birkby Lawford, and built his home in the centre of Doncaster.
