my husband's granny was Olive Newton-we have quite a lot of photos of the house, including her wedding pictures with huge palms, she married a clergyman...we have oil paintings from the house that were handed down to Olive and paintings she did as a girl of the interior of the house. She had a son and two daughters, one of them Elizabeth Headlam, my husband's mother-we have quite a lot of information if you are interested including a chest of letters in pencil from Elizabeth(Libby)to her brother during the war. Olive inherited quite a lot of the furniture from Barrells Hall and it was sold on the lawn of The Vicarage at Atcham when they had to move out upon her husband's death. We have a full inventory of the sale..a deal of top quality hand made English furniture and very unusual items.

You have mail! Great to hear from a relative I don't know! We share a common (in my case) great great great grandfather William Newton II

Hi, I know this thread is pretty old, but still i thought it was worth a mention! My family and I live at what used to be Barrels Park Lodge, now renamed Luxborough House. When we moved here in 2000 my parents carried out a lot of research into the history of Barrells to help inspire the build and totry and maintain some historical value... The original Barrells crest is placed in the new house having been removed and restored from the old lodge which was sadly in disrepair due to irreversible 70's modifications!! We bought from the Savville's and the Hall has passed from Lynch to Riley to Malloy and finally to some halal chicken farmers who have yet to move in! We sourced many of the original deeds for the land right the way back to Henrietta Knight (Lady Lux!) so if you have any specific questions just let me know and I will try to find out!
Olivia :)

Dear Olivia

How interesting! You moved in at the key time I think, at the end of the old (ruins) and the start of the new (rebuild!)

I would be very interested in hearing more about your discoveries, as you may or may not know several generations of my family (Newton) lived at (and developed) Barrells Hall. I will send you a PM with my email if I may?

Kind regards

Edward

Hi Everyone!

Interesting post this!

Barrells Hall was my families house for about 70 years up til 1924 when we sold it.

During that time my Great Great Great Grandfather William Newton II and his sons developed the property to 3 times its size, extending the old farm house and the Bonomi additions.

They also developed Ullenhall with their generosity building the Church, School, School house, coffee shop (being VERY religious - 2 of the 3 brothers were gentlemen clergy -  they did not approve of the pub so built this as a distraction!), Vicarage etc. They also built Barrells Hall lodge.

I went back to Barrells a month or two ago to have a look at the rebuilt, its quite incredible, and stunning!

If anyone has any pictures or documents they wish to share I would be most intersted to see! I have some too in return! I am collecting everything I can! my email is (*)

Kindest Regards

Edward

Hi tedzwedz,

My MILWARD/MILLWARD are some of the poor lot!!!  Seriously struggling with them.

Can you PM me with your email address, please?   I have 6 .jpgs between 500 and 1200 Kbs, probably scanned 10 years ago before I new what I was doing 3 computers ago.

I'm quite busy at the moment, so you may have to wait a bit.

Cheers

Mike


Hi Mike

Hi Anna,

I also have the needlemakers family tree.  A simplified one starting in 1600.  Probably prepared by Jean Neville, plus an article she wrote on the MILWARDs

Mike

Hi Mike

Re: the above, I am a Milward (my middle name), My mother is a  Milward (daughter of Francis John) on your Milward Needles 250th Anniverary Calender (which I presume your Milward 1600 family tree came from?).

My Grandfather Francis John (known as John) even opened Milward Square in Redditch Shopping Centre in 1983 with the Queen as the family member. We sold out of Milwards Needles some time ago as you probably know

I am interested in the Article you refer to, written by Jean Neville, would you have a copy to hand by chance?

Kind Regards

Edward

I am trying to find my unknown  grandfather   who may have been employed at Barrels Hall in 1913.
 Anyone know any descendants of servants at Barrels Hall ?
My grandmother was Annie Pottle.

Hi George, did you find any information? Barrells Hall is spelt with 2 "L"'s btw.

It was family's home (the Newtons) for three generations from 1861 - the mid 1920's so my ancestors would have been your ancestors employers.

I have many photos and articles on Barrells Hall itself. if you firnd anymore info I would be interested to hear about it.

Kind Regards

Edward

Thats interesting, Barrells Hall was my old family home, bought by my Great Great Great Grandfather (William Newton II) in 1861, when he moved from Whatley Hall (now demolished). The family had Barrells for 3 generations up to the mid 1920's.

Thos Newton you refer to above is T.H.G. Newton. He was known by his third name Goodwin (a family christian name) not Thomas. There is a wikipedia page on him I wrote www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwin_Newton

By all accounts they were excellent employers compared to other houses where staff were not always treated properly, being devout Christians this propbaly explains it. (2 of the 3 brothers were Canons)

Hope this helps, if you find out anymore re: Newtons or Barrells be delighted to hear it.

Kind Regards
Edward
