The Marchams
at Manor Lodge
By Maurice Salter
In the March 2008 Newsletter, you kindly published a letter of mine recounting
my family’s history at Manor Lodge in the early part of the last century
when my grandfather, Frederick Marcham, was coachman for Sir Arthur Liberty.
Frederick,
his wife Ellen and all of their children worked in the Manor House or the
grounds.
I am now enclosing copies of some old photos taken at The Manor Lodge. The
pictures, all taken at The Lodge, show:
- My grandmother
Ellen Marcham
- Mother Mabel
and Aunt
- Ellen and Mabel
Note the small circular
window in the wall of Manor Lodge. My mother told me that as a young girl
it was her responsibility to watch through that window for the arrival of
her father and Sir Arthur Liberty’s coach, then to dash out to open The Manor gates.
