Description: | A pencil sketch made probably for a later engraving. Note the faint pencil mark in the foreground - cattle &c - as a note to the engraver to add a rustic note. The drawing is wrongly captioned. It is of Froyle Place not Froyle House, then the seat of Henry Burningham Esq. The Reverend Sir Thomas Combe Miller, Bart, MA was Vicar of Froyle from 1803 until his death in 1864. He was born in 1736, educated at St John's College, Cambridge, and succeeded his father as 6th Baronet in 1816.
The core of Froyle Place is early medieval, with much later work. It was enlarged in 1865. It was what William White (History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Hampshire, 1859, p. 546) called "a neat mansion in a finely wooded park". The property was acquired in 1952 by the Trustees of the Lord Mayor Treloar Hospital and College. Froyle Place became Lower School. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | building Thomas Combe Miller Lord Mayor Treloar College Lord Mayor Treloar College for crippled boys Upper Froyle house Froyle Place | Temporal: | start=1840-01-01; end=1860-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
