| 1899 to 1924 | History | Maresfield Park in the ownership of Count Alexander Munster | Maresfield Park | Charlie Stevenson's research | |
| The land was originally part of the Maresfield Park Estate (2,657 acres in Maresfield, Danehill and Fletching), which, in 1898 was left by Hervey Charles Pechell, in his will, to Count Alexander Munster of Derneberg, Hanover, Germany. In 1915, by order of the High Court of Justice, the property became vested in the Public Trustee as custodian for England and Wales under The Trading with the Enemy (Amendment) Act 1914. On 18 Sep 1924 the Public Trustee was empowered to sell the estate to William Henry Abbey of Uckfield House for 61,714 pounds sterling. On 25 Sep 1924 part of the estate, comprising some 1,327 acres, was sold to Thomas Place the younger of Ullingswicke, Northallerton (Co. Yorks) | |||||
| 1902 |  | Maresfield Park Entrance, Maresfield photographed by Francis Frith | |||
 The Frith archive was founded by Francis Frith, the pioneer Victorian photographer, in 1860 and today contains over 365,000 photographs of some 7,000 towns and villages throughout Britain. Taken between 1860 and 1970 these form a topographical record of Britain without equal and is recognised as probably the only photographic collection of national importance in private hands in Britain today.The importance of the Frith archive is as a topographical and social record. It provides an amazingly detailed visual record of over 7,000 towns and villages, as well as illustrating the enormous social and structural changes which have taken place in Britain since 1860. Whilst some of the photographs are undoubtedly artistically outstanding, the real value of the archive lies in its scale. There is no other archive which can illustrate this period of British history so extensively or to such a high quality. | |||||
