Bramble Hill Lodge

A master keeper's lodge let on a 21-year lease to a series of lessees, notably Andrew Hamilton, surgeon, 1857-9, St Leger Richard Glyn (1825-70), younger son of the banker George Glyn, first Baron Wolverton, Sir William Mather (1838-1920), founder of the Manchester engineering firm, Mather and Platt, and Sir Hugh Murray (1862-1941), Forestry Commissioner, 1924-34. Glyn enlarged the building but Mather did much more to it. [More to be written.]
