Shrubs Hill Grange, Sunningdale
« on: Saturday 03 April 21 16:13 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out about the house where my Grand Mother was in service.

 She was employed by the Kenyon Family at Shrubs Hill Grange, Sunningdale. She told me that she loved her time there and told me stories of trips to Harrods for her uniform and how Mr & Mrs Kenyon would attend Royal Ascot in the Royal enclosure

I would love to see an image of the house and I would be grateful for any information

Thank you

Louisa, she would've been there during the late 1920s up to around 1930

Shrubs Hill Grange appears to be a beauty salon now - still on London Road, Sunningdale. Not sure how to add a link but you can google it.

Shrubbs Hill Grange is the large house directly opposite the Lawson Way estate on the A30., the middle of five houses on that side of the road.  Hopefully the following link will help.
