Pierrepont House, Frensham.

The Big Pond c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I live in Australia. My grandfather was a butler and my grandmother a lady's maid at Pierrepont House in 1891 and 1901. Their names were George Veasey and Theodosia Veasey, nee Williams. My father, George Edward Veasey, and my uncle, Frederick Martin Veasey, grew up in Frensham. They were born in 1902 and 1904. Does Pierrepont House still exist? It would be great if anyone can remember or know someone who can throw some light on that area and around those years. When I was young I can remember going to Frensham and Farnham to visit the ponds and to see relatives. I visited there when we were on holidays in the early 1950s. I have wonderful memories of that area. Regards, Rosemary King. NSW Australia

RE: RE: Pierrepont House, Frensham.

Hi, I was very interested to read your comment. Pierrepont House certainly still exists, in fact I am sitting in it typing this message. I work here. It is owned now by Ellel Ministries, who run courses in counselling and healing. We have Christians from every denomination come here from all over the world for training. I would be interested in hearing any memories your family has of living and working here. I am happy to send you some photos of the house - I don't think it has changed much since the 1880s. Regards, Richard Hemery
