1881 and
1901
The 1901 census lists
Cardigan
Farm Lodge, occupied
by servant John Wardle, whose profession is recorded as cattleman on farm.
In 1881,
this lodge is listed as the 'Countess of Cardigan Farm Lodge' with William
and Ellen Wilson in residence.
The Countess of Cardigan once owned land in the area. We get a clue to
this from a Barnwell St Andrew burial record dated 3 September 1753 for
"William
Stanley (from ye castle) steward to ye Dutchess of Manchester & Countess
of Cardigan for these and their adjoining lands & Manors".
Thanks to
Maureen Bryson for this information.
In 1881,
Rockingham Park Lodge was occupied
by Percy Loake and family and in 1901
by gamekeeper/tender Henry Loake and family. |
