Vineyards, The

New house built for Sir James Fowler (1852-1934), eminent physician and friend of Lord Montagu (who had [in 1909]commissioned him to 'write his standard work on the Abbey and its buildings'). In 1907 Fowler had taken a 99-year building lease of 'part of Hartford Wood and the land to the south known locally as the Vineyards'. Fowler sold the property after World War I, returning to Beaulieu in 1929 when he built the Warden's Lodge. Eric Carter was in residence in 1923.
