Volume 78|year=2001|pages=167β168}}</ref> A Catholic community thrived at the house and it was central to the happenings of the so-called "Barnbow Plot," the foundations of the Dolebank and [[Bar Convent]] and was a seat of Mary Ward's [[Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary]] whose founding members, outside those of the family, had lived here as early as 1643. Helen's brother, the priest and martyr [[Thomas Thwing]], chaplain at Carlton Hall, became chaplain at Heworth and was arrested here in 1679.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ven. Thomas Thwing|url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14713b.htm|access-date=4 September 2021|website=The Catholic Encyclopedia}}</ref> It was a registered Papists' Estate and described thus: "William Thweng... the Mannour of Heworth ... a capital messge., with barn &c, two fronsteads and two gardens ..."<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ALg0AAAAIAAJ&q=heworth+manor|title=Quarter Sessions Records, Volume 8|year=1890|pages=26}}</ref> During the 19th Century it was owned by the Hornby family, Anglicans. *The Cottage, No. 11 Stockton Lane, dates from {{circa|1800}} and appears to be on Robert Cooper's map of 1832. It was called Belle Vue Cottage in 1834, when it was occupied by Mr. John Scott, in 1846, when it was occupied by Henry Janson, gent., and in 1850 (Directories; OS). It is a double-fronted cottage with rendered walls and a hipped roof and was extended {{circa|1840}}. It has an enriched door-case of mid 18th-century date, brought from elsewhere. *The Manor House, No. 1 Stockton Lane, was formerly called the New Manor House (OS). It was built before 1830 when William Hornby Esq. (father of [[Robert Hornby (priest)|Robert Hornby]]) occupied it and it appears, with its name, on Robert Cooper's map of 1832. The house is partly of two, partly of three, storeys, above a high semi-basement and is of unusual, nearly cubical, shape. A bay window was added later in the 19th century. *Rose Villa, No. 32/34 Stockton Lane, was called Heworth Villa in 1850 (OS). It was built in the early 19th century and may be the house which appears on the site on Robert Cooper's map of 1832. It is a double-fronted house with later extensions. *The old [[Elmfield College]] (b. 1840s) still has one building standing (on Straylands Grove) *Heworth House in Melrosegate was built in 1865 as the old Heworth Rectory. It was designed by G. Fowler Jones and is representative of high Victorian Gothic architecture. *Holy Trinity Church, built in 1869. was designed by G. Fowler Jones, commissioned by the Reverend Jocelyn Willey of Camblesforth Hall, and his wife, Frances Carus-Wilson (later Lady Trevor Wheler).
