Penerley Lodge, Beaulieu

My great-grandfather Francis Henry Wells worked at Penerley Lodge as a domestic servant for the Hartopp family. He then travelled with them to Little Dalby Hall, Leicestshire around 1888 as a coachman. The Wells family all came from around the area, Francis was born 1853 at Cucumber Cottages, Singleton, to William Wells and Emma Sherwin. He married Hester Annie Crook 1887 in Eling. He eventually ended his days living in Hornchurch, Essex working as a market gardener, he certainly criss crossed the country. I am tracing my family history so would appreciate if anyone has any interesting facts about Penerley Lodge, Cucumber Farm etc.
