Melchet Park
« on: Friday 05 June 15 20:12 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know anything about this place please?  I have come across it in the 1911 census as one of my ancestors was a Coachman and Chauffeur and another was a groom.  Did a family by the name of Ashburton reside there at one time?  Many thanks    :)

Yes, according to this " The estate was advertised for sale in 1908, but was not sold, and is still in the possession of the executors of Lady Ashburton."
