Warwickshire / Re: Daniel Ledsam of Willenhall and Birmingham

Hi,
I just bought a large Victorian Villa in Hastings, East Sussex and I am doing some research on it.
So far I have found that it was built in c1860 as far as i can tell by Reverend Daniel Ledsam himself and occupied by him until he passed away in 1904. His Mother also lived here until 1925.
The house hasn't been updated since 70's (?) it's a complete time warp with lots of original features. Dainel Ledsam is buried in Ore Cemetery. This link my be helpful to you:

There are lots of streets surrounding this house named Ledsam Place, Ledsam Road etc.. the Ledsam's must of sold off land from the house to build more houses.
This is the house, Ashbrooke Lodge: https://www.onthemarket.com/details/4248078/
I was the only buyer willing to keep the house as it stands, every other buyer wanted to knock it down and build on the land. So rest assured it's safe for many more years!
Anyway, I saw your post as I was doing some research and thought you may be interested in the information I had.
