hello - this is my first contact with your forum and I hope someone can help.

I am doing a friends family tree and several members of her family seem to have worked for firstly, William Pickup Pickup (1834-1872) and possibly for his widow and later, son George William Pickup (1862-1910).

Trying to find out how long the Pickups owned Springhill and the surrounding estate. I am guessing that my friends family were still linked to the estate in 1911 when, I am assuming, George's widow Elizabeth Pickup would have inherited some, or all of it.

Can anyone point me to some reference material about the history of the house - all google refs are more recent when it was a restaurant and care home.
Thanks
Rozalia
