Great-Granny Worked Here?
I do not have a specific memory myself but I think my great-granny worked here. On the 1901 census she is listed as a kitchen domestic. At the time Lady Ashburton and her children Alexander and Lilian Baring and many other servants are listed as living here. I am tracing my family tree and I am looking for any books or photographes taken around 1900 or any local historian that may have some more infomation about Buxted Park and the people that lived and worked there.
Anything at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

RE: RE: Great-Granny Worked Here?
I have found this site whilst trying to research my family tree. My husband's grandfather (Henry Henderson-Smith) was chauffeur to the Ashburtons in the Crowborough / Sussex area around 1912 (in fact we still have the wedding gift given to him by Lord and Lady Ashburton in 1912) so I'm guessing this is probably the house he worked at. If anyone has ANY information referring to his employ by the Ashburtons I would love to hear about it. Thank you.
