His drawings were used on a regular basis by engravers. PROVENANCE: Published in “Views Of The Seats Of Noblemen And Gentlemen, In England, Wales, Scotland, And Ireland Second Series." Neale, J. P.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Surrenden Estate only past by inheritance between 1066 and 1928 (it was never sold). In the early 20th century Henry James was a regular visitor to Surrenden. The place has strong associations with American cultural and political activity in late C19 and early C20; it was visited by Henry James and is the setting for Gore Vidal’s novel ‘Empire’. The main portion of the mansion was built by Sir Edward Dering, First Baronet (1598-1644), in the reign of Charles I. It was sold in 1920 and became a school. A serious fire occurred in 1952 which destroyed most of the building, and the remains were demolished in 1953, except for the former service or north wing .
