Family At Tainfield

A Memory of Tainfield Park.

My Father, Patrick D'Arcy Trevor Mungovan, grew up at Tainfield House. He lived there with his Grandfather, Alfred Chapman, his Mother Audrey (nee Chapman) and his sister Peggy. He told me of his wonderful childhood. A portrait of Sir Stephen Remnant Chapman hung in his house until his death in 2005.

He took me to see Tainfield House in the 60s, by which time it had been sold and turned into eight houses. The residents, one couple especially, were very interested in the Family history of the place and stayed in touch until they died. My Father picked out several features of the house which remained, for example a wide staircase leading up from the hallway. His sister rode her pony up those stairs!
