Staverton House, Lower Common, Eversley
A Memory of Eversley.
I have posted on this interesting sight in the past - back in May 2009. I was talking recently about Staverton House in Lower Common with a friend, another former Eversley-ite, as we both had a Saturday job there circa 1978/80.
Staverton house, is, in part very old. I believe it was listed in the Doomsday book. It sits at the end of a long drive near Mud lane which is off Lower Common. In the early to mid 1970's the house was owned and restored by a man called Pearce (now deceased) who owned and resided at near by Horns Farm.
When I worked there (aged 13/15) it was owned by a man called Foreman. He lived there with his wife Glenda and Glendas parents, who lived in the annexe above the swimming pool/sauna/garage complex. Ken Foreman was a director of a company called Drinkwater Sabey, which was something to do with waste paper, I believe. There was a Dennis Thatcher connection also.
Mr. Foreman went on to marry the late Mandy Rice-Davis of Profumo fame but Staverton house had been sold prior to this, I believe. Glenda, I recently discovered, now resides in Marbella.
Does anyone else have any memories of Staverton House???
