Hi Daisy Loo
The brochure is a family heirloom of some sentimental value, given to my mother who I understand stayed there as a guest of Hilda Lloyd the wife of John Lloyd, her great aunt. Their son Dick Lloyd was my god-father who trained as a doctor and emigrated to Canada. I lost touch with him some 40 years ago, but our family has wonderful memories of and sentimental connections with the Lloyd family. I am sure their heirs will be around somewhere and will probably have more records.

The photos in the brochure are mainly of the grounds, with an extensive description of the accommodation in the house.

There is no mention of Col Fielding in the brochure, but the name sort of rings a bell in my mind - I was very young at the time!

If you can find out how to contact me directly we can talk more about the brochure.
Regards

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: Broome Park Mansion, & Ravenleigh, Betchworth

I have a 7 page property auction sales brochure of Broome Park, Betchworth Surrey dated 23 March 1920. Broome Park was purchased at that time by John A Lloyd, a local businessman and distant relation.

The brochure describes the property as a fine old Georgian House, with 19 bed and dressing rooms, 4 bathrooms, 5 elegant reception rooms, billiard room and mens servants bedrooms.

The property of 56 acres included 2 lodges, stabling, garage, farmery and 3 cottages.

There is a beautiful surveyors map of the estate, as well as several photographs.
Hope this may be of interest.
