Kelly's Directory 1919 lists the residents of Habrough House as  "Wood William" and "Wood William Reginald".

Referring to Saint Margaret's church Kelly's Directory notes "the stained east window is a memorial to Mrs. Elizabeth Wood: the west window was erected in 1891 to the late William Wood and his wife"

More recently the building was in use as "The Habrough" boutique hotel, restaurant and bar.

St Margaret's is built in the Early English style popular with the Victorians.

Simple lancet windows and occasional plate tracery (south aisle) are typical of this style.

St Margaret's, Habrough, was built in 1869 probably to the design of R. J. Withers.

The west window by Kempe may be its only redeeming feature.
