The Duke of Newcastle to the Plumptres of Fredville revised 17.5.2013
Fredville House had a large nursery wing added in 1880 to accommodate the Plumptre family’s twelve children, and the various late 19th and early 20th censuses show that it had a large staff both indoors and out, in 1901 there were seven servants “living in”. However, by 1918 the house was considered to large but instead of reducing its size it was decided in 1921 to build a smaller house, known as ‘Little Fredville’, a few hundred yards to the south of ‘Big Fredville’ where the Plumptre family still reside.
