Does anyone know when this house was lived in by Sir William Cocker and roughly when it became a childrens home?

The house was designed by a very well known architect, Walter Brierley, who also designed Haworth Art Gallery.  It now turns out that a famous garden designer was responsible for the gardens at Dyke Nook - a lady named Gerturde Jeykll, who normally designed gardens in the south of England.
