Worthy Park House

Worthy Park House is a large country house at Kings Worthy near Winchester. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The original house on the site was built by William Evelyn in 1722. It was bought by Sir Chaloner Ogle, 1st Baronet in 1773. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, 2nd Baronet inherited the house in 1816 and commissioned Sir Robert Smirke to demolish the west wing and replace it with a new building, built in the Georgian style, which was completed in 1820. The house was acquired by Samuel Wall, a banker in 1825 (died 1843) but remained in the Wall family until it passed by marriage to Captain Charles Gilbert Fryer in the mid 1870s. It then remained in the Fryer family passing to Colonel James A Butchart, again by marriage c1920. During the Second World War it was taken over by the British Army. After the war it served as a training centre owned first by Currys and then by National Express. The house became Prince's Mead School in 1999. Owners and occupiers Admiral Sir Charles Ogle (1775-1858) built the present house in 1820. It was the same year that he married his second wife Letitia Burroughs (1783-1832). In 1825 there was a feature article in a publication of that time. The accompanying coloured engraving within the article is shown and some of text is as follows: "This beautiful rural residence has been lately constructed for the present proprietor under the superintendence of Robert Smirke Esq. whose design for the mansion possesses every necessary convenience combined with a display of taste and judgement which reflect great credit upon the architect." In 1825 he sold the house to Samuel Wall (1775-1843) who was a banker from Worcester. In 1812 he married Elizabeth Binns (1788-1835) co-heiress of John Binns of Leeds. The couple had five children. In 1833 Worthy Park again featured in a publication of that time. It included a drawing of the lodge and the house and contained a detailed description of each room in the house. Samuel’s wife Elizabeth died in 1835 and two years later he married Eliza Anne Lechmere (1789-1875) who was the daughter of Sir Anthony Lechmere, 1st Baronet. She is recorded in the 1841 Census as living at Worthy Park with Samuel, two of his sons, her sister Georgiana Lechmere and nine servants. George Alfred Ellis Wall (1824-1875) was a landowner. In 1852 he married Katherine Rivers (1826-1895) who was the daughter of Sir Henry Rivers, 9th Baronet. She inherited the River’s estate when her brother died in 1870. The couple had one daughter Katherine Georgina Wall (1854-1916). When George died in 1875 his daughter Katherine inherited the house. In the same year she married Captain Charles Gilbert Fryer (1839-1919). Katharine Eleanora Rivers Fryer (1889-1963) married in 1916 Major James Alexander Butchart (1877-1953). Their wedding was held in St Mary’s Church, Kings Worthy. A description of the ceremony was given in several newspapers. The most detailed outline was in the Hampshire Observer. James died in 1953 and in 1959 Katharine sold Worthy Park House. References
St Mary's Church, Ebberston

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Ebberston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, at which time it appears to have consisted of a nave and chancel. Surviving features from this period include the doorway in the south wall of the nave, and the font. In about 1200, a north aisle was added, while the chancel was largely rebuilt and the nave extended later in the century, and a south chapel was added.

The building was reroofed in 1797, and the church was restored between 1870 and 1876, by Ewan Christian. He added a porch, and rebuilt the south side of the nave and chancel.

Old Alresford House

Old Alresford House is an 18th-century Georgian country house in Old Alresford, Hampshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. It was built between 1749 and 1751 for Admiral Lord Rodney on a gently sloping south facing site between the village churchyard and Alresford Pond, paid for by the riches accrued in a successful naval career fighting the French in the Caribbean. The house is constructed of brick with Bath stone dressings and slated roofs in 3 storeys and a basement. It has a 7-bay frontage with the central 3 bays slightly projecting. There are single bay flanking wings at each end with single storey service wings on both sides at the front forming a courtyard. Rodney purchased Alresford Pond in 1755 before commissioning Richard Woods to create the 16 ha (40 acres) park in 1764, which is itself now Grade II listed. History Old Alresford (pronounced Allsford) had belonged to the Bishop of Winchester for over a thousand years. During the mid-12th century, Bishop Godfrey de Lucy, built the 350 m (1,150 ft) long Great Weir to create a balancing lake, known as Alresford Pond, for the Itchen Navigation. Admiral Rodney's house was built on the site of an old manor house owned by the Norton family. Unfortunately Rodney got into unrelated financial difficulties and was forced to move to France to escape his creditors. His son George took over the estate, but the debts were repaid and the Admiral was able to return home. Old Alresford House passed down in the Rodney family for three generations until it was sold in 1870 to William Whitear Bulpitt, a banker. His family kept possession of the property until 1926, when it was sold to C. F. G. R. Schwerdt, an art collector. He died in 1931 and his mausoleum stands in the churchyard. The house then passed to Wing Commander Gerald and Mrs. Constable Maxwell. Maxwell was a highly decorated World War I fighter pilot who is also buried in the neighbouring churchyard. After his death in 1959 his family stayed on at the house. In 1990 the property was acquired by Peter and Gayle MacDermott. References

Elle est construite entre 1749 et 1751 pour l'amiral George Brydges Rodney sur un site en pente douce orienté vers le sud entre le cimetière du village et l'étang d'Alresford, payé par les richesses accumulées au cours d'une carrière navale en combattant les Français dans les Caraïbes. La maison est construite en brique avec des encadrements en pierre de Bath et des toits en ardoise sur 3 étages et un sous-sol. Elle a une façade de 7 travées avec les 3 travées centrales légèrement en saillie. Il y a des ailes flanquant une travée à chaque extrémité avec des ailes de service à un étage des deux côtés à l'avant formant une cour. Rodney achète Alresford Pond en 1755 avant de charger Richard Woods de créer le parc 16 ha (40 acres) en 1764, qui est lui-même maintenant classé Grade II. Histoire Old Alresford (prononcé Allsford) appartient à l'évêque de Winchester depuis plus de mille ans. Au milieu du XIIe siècle, l'évêque Godfrey de Lucy fait construire le long Great Weir de 350 m pour créer un lac d'équilibrage, connu sous le nom d'Alresford Pond, pour la navigation. La maison de l'amiral Rodney est construite sur le site d'un ancien manoir appartenant à la famille Norton. Malheureusement, Rodney connait des difficultés financières indépendantes et est contraint de déménager en France pour échapper à ses créanciers. Son fils George reprend le domaine, mais les dettes sont remboursées et l'amiral peut rentrer chez lui . Old Alresford House est transmise à la famille Rodney pendant trois générations jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit vendue en 1870 à William Whitear Bulpitt, un banquier. Sa famille conserve la propriété jusqu'en 1926, date à laquelle elle est vendue à CFGR Schwerdt, un collectionneur d'art. Il meurt en 1931 et son mausolée se dresse dans le cimetière. La maison passe ensuite au commandant de l'escadre Gerald Maxwell (en). C'est un pilote de chasse hautement décoré de la Première Guerre mondiale qui est également enterré dans le cimetière voisin. Après sa mort en 1959, sa famille reste dans la maison . En 1990, la propriété est acquise par Peter et Gayle MacDermott .
