Just to add that there are details of the Chaworth Musters on the War Commissions website...sadly a number of the male descendants died in both Wars.

The history of the Chaworth and Musters is fascinating.   Commander George Musters was a noted explorer at the time of Cook...responsible for travels and expolration in Patagonia where he was regarded with the status of King amongst the patagonians.

Recently I have carried out much work as an architect with the family seat at Annesley Hall in Nottinghamshire, a house in poor consition not occupied since the 1970's but with connections with Byron.  I have boxes of information collected over a number of years, including books published locally about the family. Try if possible Annesley Through the Ages by Denis R Pearson ISBN 0-9524383-0-5.

Very distinctive name - still family descendants living Felley

Worth a look

You might find older photographs interesting if you visit

and search Annesley Hall

And possibly -

Nothing to do with the family - Alan do you know where the 'Ice house' was moved to?? My route to work took me through the road works when the road was being altered. I still travel along the same stretch and often wonder where it has a new home.

I'm curious about this;  it appears to relate to Nottinghamshire but is on the Dorset board.  Can anyone explain?

Hi Knellie

Yes the ice house was in the line of the new road, which incidentally I think has helped to blight the Hall, and was moved and rebuilt to the side of the new road.  It is opposite the old church.

The water supply to the Hall was interesting.....water from the fishponds below the Hall was pumped by ram pump or pumps to tanks at the top of the hill above the Hall, more recently part of the Kodak factory site and now removed I believe.  Water then flowed by gravity back down to the Hall.  Local scientist/geologist/clockmaker John Whitehurst of Derby could have been responsible for the pump(s)....Whitehurst made the turret clock now at Annesley and was the forefather of Smiths of Derby, famous clock and watchmakers.  Whitehurst invented the ram pump I believe.....

Many thanks Alan - very interesting. I think the drive from the Hucknall side give a glimpse of what a beautiful setting the family home would have had.

Nanny Jan - I believe the link is to do with John Patricius studying in Christchurch, which was Dorset - then tracing his family links back to Notts.

My relies also travelled from Notts to the Christchurch area but they were servants !!!
