Section 1 – The history of Landford Cottage

Landford Cottage is located at the start of Barrows Lane, Landford, and stands on the opposite side of the A36 to Wickets Green Farm.

The website for British Listed Buildings contains the following technical information regarding Landford Cottage, which was Grade II listed on 23 Mar 1960.

A detached house built about 1700, with additions in the 18 th century and refaced about 1820. Built of English bond brick, with a hipped tiled roof and brick stacks. It has an L shape plan, with two storeys, having a 3- window front to the south built in the 1790s. The house has a central 2-storey porch (c1820) with a 4-panelled door in reeded case with paterae, and an open porch with Roman Doric columns. To the left there is a 12-pane sash window in an early 19 th century extension and to the right is a 20-pane sash window. The first floor has three 12-pane sash windows to dentilled eaves.

Right return has a 12-pane sash window, a blocked door with hexagonal window, 4-light and 2-light casement windows and a 20 th century porch to the right of the original construction. This was refaced about 1820. The first floor has sash and two 2-light casement windows with margin panes and gablets, to dentilled eaves.

The left return has a late 19 th century bay window with sash windows, and to the left is a wing (c1820) with the first floor added late 19 th century, containing sash and casement windows.

The rear has 2-light casement and 4-pane sash windows to dentilled eaves, and to the left is the original build with rear outshut and hipped roofs to an 18 th century single-storey kitchen extension with 2-light casement windows.

I am grateful to Mr Michael Nokes who provided a historical summary of Landford Cottage containing the following information.

The original cottage was built in the late 1600’s, with timber framed walls in-filled with brick (which is still in existence), and the roof most likely of thatch. In the 1790s (possibly having been recently bought by Samuel Greatheed of Landford Lodge by then) a two storey building was added to form an L-shape with the old cottage. About 1820 a central two storey porch was added and the old cottage faced in brick and the roof was possibly then changed to clay tiles. At the same time a single storey outbuilding was erected, which is now the main kitchen.

In the 1880s an extension was built onto the 1790s front (the Drawing Room) together with a timber framed leaded and tiled bay window on the south west front. Again in the late 1800s a further two

Part 6 – Landford Cottage

storey extension was built with a slate roof (now with clay tiles). There are many internal features that bear witness to the changes that have happened over time. The open porch has two Roman Doric columns that have hollow wooden frames with moulded fluted pieces. The right hand column is the original of 1820 and the left hand is early 19th century. The existing sash windows also date from 1820. The stairs are dated 1830.

Externally there is a Barn/Coach House recently repaired that was built about 1820, a swimming pool built in 1967, a four car garage built in 1978, and a conservatory added to the late 1800s extension in 1988.

Ownership prior to the 18th October 1895 is not known. At that time it was part of the Northlands Estate ( Comment - now The Cedars Nursing Home) in the hands of the Wigram family, namely Henry James Wigram, William Loftus Wigram, Godfrey James Wigram and Loftus Sidney Long. On 31st March 1911 (question this date?) Northlands was sold to Cedric Randall Boult. On 20th March 1950 he died and the estate passed to his daughter Olive Isabel Eileen Boult and his son Sir Adrian Cedric Boult.

On 23rd August 1951 the family sold the Northlands Estate to the Hon. Peter Pleydell-Bouverie of Landford Lodge, Landford. On 10th June 1959 he sold Landford Cottage to (1) Arthur James Robert Collins of 4 Arundel Street, Strand, London and (2) Samuel Vandeleur Christie-Miller of Clarendon Park, Salisbury.

During the periods detailed above, it is known that Landford Cottage was leased out and documents to hand state that a Surgeon (Capt. E.A. Longhurst) took a tenancy from C.R. Boult for 14 years, starting 21st June 1948. He was probably the tenant when a drawing of the cottage was executed in 1953.

The property was sold in 1967 as a separate holding, comprising the house and garden (in all about 2 acres), to a Mrs E.A. Lawrence for the sum of £10,500. She installed the swimming pool in 1967 and purchased a further 1.1 acres of land (part of an adjacent field) in January 1969 for £220. In the 1970s the A36 trunk road was realigned and half of the old road reverted to the ownership of Landford Cottage.

In 1978 Mrs Lawrence sold the property to a Mr Owen but the actual date and purchase price are not known. In March 1979 the property was again sold to a Mr J. Gordon who carried out extensive repairs and alterations both internally and externally, including the building of the garage block.

On the 17th August 1987 the property was purchased by Michael and Patricia Nokes for £350,000. To contain the property within the new boundary of the A36 they purchased two thirds of an acre of land on the other side of the old A36 for £10,000 bringing the total area of the property to 4 acres. The current owners have made many improvements since 1987.

Following the death of Mike Nokes the property was sold on 9th October 2014 for £1,150,000.

The cottage is located in the northeast corner of the property with views to the open countryside to the south and west. It is bounded by natural hedges and the garden contains some spectacular mature trees, including a

Part 6 – Landford Cottage large Cedar, a tall straight eucalyptus, and a couple of hornbeams. The cottage still retains commoners rights indicating its distant connections with the New Forest.

The records for St Andrew’s Church contain a brief reference to Landford Cottage in a single sentence as follows. “This charming little house, with land attached, belonged for some generations to a family named “Tucker” who is still represented in this parish, but being added by purchase to the Landford Lodge Estate, it has now passed into the hands of J.R. Wigram Esq.(Northlands)”

From the history of Landford Lodge we learn that in Jan 1844 Samuel Greatheed junior was obliged to mortgage the property (Landford Lodge) to secure a loan of £1,800 at 5% for one year.

The Wiltshire & Swindon Archives mention a “Memorandum of an agreement between Samuel Greatheed of Landford Lodge and William H. Bodman of Romsey to let Landford Cottage and about 10 acres of land for 7 years at £50 a year”. That is dated 18 Jun 1844.

In 1848 the Greatheed family sold Landford Lodge and Whitehouse Farm to the Dowager Countess Nelson at a time when the Nelson family also owned the whole of the Landford Manor estates.

Records are incomplete, but James R. Wigram Esq. of Northlands House (now The Cedars Nursing Home), purchased the Lodge from Countess Nelson in 1859. The Landford Lodge property (the whole of which was in the possession of Mr. Wigram) also consisted of Whitehouse Farm, containing about 90 acres, and Landford Cottage, a pleasant residence standing in 8 acres of grounds adjacent to Northlands House.

Further history of this cottage is provided by the Census records for Landford, which provide the following information.

1839 – The Landford Tithe Map drawn up in 1839 shows that the property was occupied by Barnard Trollop who married Mary Greatheed, sister to Samuel Greatheed the then owner of Landford Lodge. It is not clear from the 1841 Census as to who occupied the cottage then, but presumably it was still Barnard Trollope and family. As they had family connections in Yorkshire and possibly London as well, it might be that they were absent the day the census was taken.

1851 – This Census does not refer to Landford Cottage specifically, but it was occupied by William H. Bodman of Romsey, his wife and a couple of servants. From the census we learn that he was a proprietor of houses occupying 130 acres employing 3 labourers and 2 boys.

1861 – The name Landford Cottage first appears in this Census. It is occupied by John Messenger and his wife, and he was the Curate of Plaitford. They had living with them (presumably in separate quarters) a Groom, House Servant and an Under Servant.

1871 – The cottage is now occupied by William Eyre Matcham, his wife Mary and their five children. He is a magistrate and landowner. They have living with them a governess, cook, housemaid and a nurse.

1881 – Now occupied by Charles Davies, his wife Ellen, two daughters and a niece. He is a retired Master Mariner. They have a governess to look after their two daughters, a housemaid and a cook.

Part 6 – Landford Cottage

1891 – The cottage is occupied by Edith Fisher and her niece Gertrude Armstrong, both living on their private income. They had a domestic servant living with them.

1901 – Francis Baring is the occupant. He is living on his own means and has Janet and Maggie Cumming living with him as cook and housemaid.

1911 – Occupied by William Eyre Matcham (son of 1871 occupant) and his wife Edith. His occupation is given as Army Captain on retired pay. They had a butler, cook and housemaid.

Where the owners of Landford Cottage were also the owners of Landford Lodge or Northlands, then the history files for those properties contain further related Family Connections.

Barnard Trollop (1798-1870)

Barnard Foord-Bowes was born on 25 October 1798 in Beverley St Mary, Yorkshire, to Arthur William Trollope and Mary Foord.
