It was a fabulous hall, unfortunately demolished in 1980. The Beresford family last lived there. They would join us on a shooting day and then invite us all back for a tipple.

Thank you that is very useful information. I read that he was at Kench Hill, Tenterden. Was this his birth place? Also, Harbourne Hall High Halden is mentioned as a place of work.
Definitely an interesting untangle.

Kind regards
Richard

To Pluckingpheasant.
all the information regarding Robin John Wilkinson Sands is on line and covered in the earlier pages on this site. The family connection was although not uncommon was probably from Percivals early upbringing when he was taken in by his mothers family in 1899 on his fathers death. His father was a Wilkinson and his mother was a Sands. Percival died of bowel cancer 29-9-1954 in Exmouth and is buried in a village church nearby. its a very complicated family.

I have been trying to research the war grave at St. Mary's church, High Halden of Captain Robin John Wilkinson -Sands. This is the only thread I could find.
I am curious as to his military service, cause of death, why buried at High Halden...etc
I would like permission to clean his gravestone
