The East Close Hotel in Hinton, Hampshire, near Christchurch, Dorset, is a building of historical significance and a grade II listed building on the English Heritage Register. It was built in 1768 as a home for two newlyweds and was used as residence for the next two centuries by many notable people. It is now a hotel and provides accommodation, dining facilities and catering for special events, particularly weddings. ==Abraham and Margaret Spalding==
It appears that Abraham Spalding, an immensely wealthy Swedish merchant, was the originator of East Close. A letter was written to his wife’s sister Sibylla Soddherland (nee Dickson) in 1769 when she was staying with them and gives her address as East Close near Christchurch.〔James Elphinston, “Forty years' correspondence between geniuses”, p. 189. Online reference https://archive.org/stream/fortyyearscorre00unkngoog#page/n259/mode/2up〕 The previous year Sibylla wrote a letter mentioning that her sister Margaret Spalding was putting her Hinton house in order. This was the year that the house was built.〔James Elphinston, “Forty years' correspondence between geniuses”, p. 166. Online reference https://archive.org/stream/fortyyearscorre00unkngoog#page/n237/mode/2up〕 Abraham Spalding was born in Sweden. He came to London and established a firm with Gustav Brander called Spalding and Brander. They were very successful business men and both became interested in scientific and cultural pursuits.〔 p. 174.〕 Abraham was a member of several English scientific societies.〔 p. 227.〕 In 1767 Abraham married Margaret Dickson in Kensington London and in the following year they built East Close in Hinton. This may have been erected on the site of a 1720s farm house. The couple had no children and lived at Hinton and in London until 1782 when Abraham died. He was buried in Christ Church, Southampton.
