The Eastbury Estate
Northwood, Hertfordshire, England.
Home of the Marsh family in the 1840s

The Eastbury Estate was the home of the Marsh family from 1842 to approximately 1857.  I understand that the main part of the estate is now the suburban area to the north of Northwood, while the site of the original Eastbury mansion house is now the Ministry of Defence Establishment, RAF Northwood (see www.northwood.mod.uk)

Arthur and Anne Marsh, together with their children, had been living for a number of years in Boulogne, France, but moved back to Britain in late 1841.  In August of that year the purchase of the Eastbury Estate was agreed with "the representative of the late Mr Baron Vaughan".  The price was £13,000 inclusive of the timber on the estate, which was estimated to be worth £3,280.  By January 1842 the Marsh family had taken possession of the estate and had moved in.  In addition to the mansion house and the wood, it would appear that there was a farm of a significant size and Arthur and Anne hired a bailiff to help manage it.

Anne and Arthur's letters from their home are post marked Watford and the address is usually put as Eastbury, Eastbourgh or Eastborough Lodge.

Anne's nephew William Caldwell Roscoe mentions Eastbury in some of his poems "A Nightingale in Eastbury Woods, 1843", "To Little AC in the Garden at Eastbury", however neither of these make any descriptive comments on Eastbury itself.

Anne in her letters to her son (1842-1845) makes some day to day comments of their life at Eastbury and presents an image of a spacious country house surrounded by lovely gardens and woods.  She talks about the running of the farm and also comments on how practical it is to live so close to the social society in London.

More information on the Eastbury Estate can be found in the books "The Story of Northwood" and "The Goodliest Place in Middlesex".

In the Staffordshire Record Office (4229/1/1/4) there is a copy of an inventory of the contents of "Eastbury Lodge", 7th February 1850 (see below).  In addition to the furniture this inventory also lists many of the books in the house at the time.  This inventory was compiled shortly after the death of Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, 23 December 1849.  In the mid 1850s Anne Marsh sold Eastbury to reduce expenditure and pay off debts.
