Battramsley House

Old house, which, by 1859, from the evidence of the directories, appears to have superseded Battramsley Close as the main residence on the Battramsley estate. Edward David Sweet (1821-1901), landed proprietor and New Zealand colonist, lived there 1869-1901, followed by the Rev. Frederick John Jervis-Smith (1848-1911), university lecturer in mechanics at Trinity College, Oxford, 1907-1911. Major the Hon. Hugo Baring (1876-1949), a member of the banking family, lived there 1919-1923.
