MILTON COURT IN DORKING SURREY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ARTIST - JAMES S. OGILVY
Approximate Size of image: 8 X 5.5 inches
Approximate Overall Size With Margins: 10.75 X 8.25 inches The Milton Court estate near Dorking in Surrey has a long history. Mentioned in the Domesday Book as Mildeton, it was owned by private individuals until it became a priory in the fourteenth century. After the Reformation, the estate was granted to George Evelyn, father of the diarist, who built the basic E-shaped house still standing on the estate, its shape possibly chosen either to refer to the family name, or as a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth I. The Evelyn family (still in possession of nearby Wotton House) sold the estate in about 1830. It then passed through several hands, until in 1863 it was bought by the wealthy banker and lawyer Lachlan Mackintosh Rate, who owned it until 1936. Information attributed to author and researcher Jacqueline Banerjee, Contributing Editor of The Victorian Web. http://www.victorianweb.org/art/architecture/burges/2.html CONDITION: Vintage Colour Lithograph.
