Hi Acorna

and welcome to this very addictive friendly site  :D

Thank you very much for the link, what a lovely building and so well cared for.  Good to know trades people were looked after when falling on hard times, my 3 x great grandfather had his widowed daughter and grandchildren living with him so must have been very difficult.

Hope you enjoy RootsChat  :)

Yes, they do still exist and continue to flourish.
It is a wonderful oasis for retired people.
The grounds are beautifully maintained by the Trust's gardeners and the chapel provides a residents' social centre with a range of activities.
It is no longer just for tradesmen and women.
The criteria for residing on this private estate is to be a retired person over the age of 60.
At the present time (May 2018) there are a couple of properties available for suitable people.
Details can be obtained from the Trust Administrator on 01274 543022

He will supply full details.
