| Notes | lived at Harefield, and afterwards at Woodlands, Selling. Born in 1789, he married Anne WIGHTWICK daughter of William Wightwick of New Romney, and left three sons (CHARLES, ROBERT and EDWIN), who were all members of the Club. At Woodlands the doors and woodwork were made from Chestnut wood grown by himself. He was a man of fine presence, great strength, and a man of good business. At his tenants dinners, Robert Cobb and Charles Neame sat on either side of Lord Sondes, who used to refer to the former as a really good business man and to the latter as a genial companion. After his death, twelve bearers carried him by hand from Woodlands to Selling Church. In accordance with the ancient custom of this family, they wore white linen scarves in addition to the usual black hat bands (Faversham Mercury). A clock was placed in the Tower of Selling Church in his memory. (Faversham Farmers' Club and its Members. Prideaux, George Selby. Canterbury 1927) |
