| The Froyle Place Estate encompassed most of Upper Froyle with many of the houses in the village accommodating workers on the estate. As a result it required a lot of management and staff. We are very fortunate to have been lent (late 2013) a log book of duties carried out by the ‘outdoor’ staff of Froyle Place. You will find some of the many entries below. This book had been passed down through the Robinson family from Gerald Robinson (left in the picture above), who worked for Sir Hubert Miller for many years. His grandson, also named Gerald (Gerry) had brought the book to our attention while researching his family history. Sadly Gerry passed away suddenly just before Christmas 2013, a great shock to the entire village, and we would like to dedicate this section of the website to him. |
