Description

Frances Garnet Wolseley was born in London in 1872.She was very much a countrywoman who loved bothhunting and taking long solitary walks with her dogs.Early in 1898 the Wolseleys rented Glynde Place and shehad by then trained as a gardener. In 1903 her mothersaw an advertisement placed by a lady gardener whowas in `distressed circumstances¿ and engaged her. Heremployment then sparked the idea of founding a schoolfor lady gardeners.Arthur Beckett founded the Sussex County Magazine inDecember 1926 and asked her to contribute a seriesentitled Historic Houses of Sussex. Over the years thatfollowed she described 115 houses, the last four articlesappearing posthumously. In Myth and Memory shedeclared that she would always be glad that she hadbeen chosen to write the series for it enabled her to spendher summers exploring the county she loved looking atfascinating houses. In winter she did her research.This book contains the articles she wrote between 1926and 1935 on East Sussex. (West Sussex Historic Houses &their Owners is published by Country Books in twocompanion volumes.)These books should prove invaluable for the lover of old Sussex houses, and with an index of family names,for those tracing their family tree.
