A Wealden House and its People 1847-1950
This is the story of a house in Sussex and the people who successively owned and occupied it for a century.
It has a varied and colourful cast of characters – shifty lawyers, a brilliant engineer, distinguished soldiers, a respected M.P., shrewd business men and enterprising women. Some achieved national fame and at least one achieved international notoriety.
The history of Coldharbour is also a window on some key themes of a fascinating period, including the influence of Empire and the impact of social change.
